Nutritional values
Lentils and tofu provide a particularly large amount of high-quality vegetable protein. Lentils also protect the heart and blood vessels, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
Tofu comes in many different varieties: for a change, try hearty smoked tofu or the particularly aromatic herbal tofu.
