Tofu is a soya bean curd, and the figures here describe it steamed. It mainly provides protein and fat, with little carbohydrate. Per 100g, steamed tofu contains 8.1g of protein and 4.2g of fat, of which 0.5g is saturated fat. Its salt content is 0.01g per 100g.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Most of the fat in this tofu is unsaturated, and its low salt content may be relevant to people monitoring their salt intake. Salt added during cooking, or in sauces and marinades, will change the amount in the finished dish. Tofu is made from soya, an allergen. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
