Tofu with 3 Cs: Curry, Turmeric & Coconut
The Tofu with 3 C's: Curry, Turmeric & Coconut is a delicious vegetarian recipe, made of simple ingredients and quick to prepare - very rich in nutritional value and in probiotics!
#1 The interest of lactofermentation
The fermentation of tofu, lactofermentation, involves bacteria that transform sugars into lactic acid, thus providing a food richer in probiotics, these famous bacteria that are good for our gut and brain!
#2 Why prioritize fermented soy?
If soy is often praised for its richness in proteins, it should be noted that unfermented soy can be “criticized” for the following reasons:
- It contains protease inhibitors including antitrypsin
- It is high in phytic acid which prevents good assimilation of minerals andvitamins
- It could have negative effects on the intestine
#3 And turmeric?
Turmeric supports our immune system and has exceptional anti-inflammatory virtues. It therefore increases our natural defenses thanks to its protective effect on the digestive organs and the liver.
