Nutritional values

The protein-rich mix of tofu and vegetables is an excellent source of a number of vitamins and minerals, including iron, a trace element that is often neglected in meat-free diets. One portion of these skewers provides a third of your daily requirement of this mineral.

There are no limits to your imagination when it comes to what vegetables to include on these skewers. Feel free to substitute onions, zucchini or any in-season vegetable you like.
