I believe that tofu is soy bean curd - it is very high in protien.

here are some Definitions of tofu on the Web:

A cake made of bean curd, which is made from the milky liquid extracted from soybeans. Often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.

Tofu is a soft cheese-like food made by curdling soya milk with a coagulant. Tofu is a rather bland tasting product that easily absorbs the flavours of the other ingredients. Tofu is sold in water-filled packs or in aseptic cartons. It can be found in supermarkets and natural health food stores.

Tofu is an exceptional food--not only because it is highly nutritious -- but because it can be prepared in such a remarkably wide variety of ways. Tofu is a good source of soy protein and isoflavones, both of which confer promising health benefits. The uses for tofu are limited only by one's imagination. Try this trick for chili: freeze firm tofu before use to give the tofu a chewier, "meatier" texture, making it more absorbent and perfect for marinating. More.

Soy bean curd. Tofu is made from soy milk and then turned into curds and whey just as Western cheeses are made, except that the latter are usually coagulated by means of rennet, which is extracted from animals. Tofu is curdled by means of a "salt"; either calcium sulfate (gypsum) used in China or Nigari, bittern, derived from the sea (magnesium chloride, plus other salts and trace elements). Or less desirably, tofu can be coagulated with lemon juice or vinegar. ...

A soybean curd that comes in white cheese-like squares packed in water. May be soft, firm, or extra-firm. Used in many Asian and vegetarian recipes. Available in most grocery stores.

Soy bean curd available in a variety of textures. The most common is �momen� or cotton tofu which is often called firm in the US Also common is �kinugoshi� or silken tofu which contains far less water and does not have to be pressed as the water content is less than momen. Tofu is high in protein and calcium and highly perishable. If not all used, the leftover tofu should be packed in fresh water and the water changed daily.
