Healthy, because
Tofu is just the thing for people with a sensitive digestion; in addition, the product made from soya is a good source of protein, which is beneficial for building and maintaining muscle. In the case of flatulence and stomach pressure, basil can provide relief thanks to its essential oils; the herb also stimulates the production of bile and thus supports digestion.
