Tofu Scramble

Tofu Scramble is a popular quick and easy substitute of eggs for vegetarians and vegans. High in protein and contains all eight essential amino acids. It is also an outstanding source of iron and calcium along with the minerals manganese, selenium and phosphorous. In addition, it is a good source of magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin B1. As it has a tasteless flavour, it adapts to whatever flavour you want.
