Chodanggol is a small coastal village located in Korea, where the tofu produced in traditional manner is known to be seasoned with clean seawater. Since its invention in the ancient Chinese Han Dynasty era, tofu has been loved by East Asians as a precious substitute for animal protein and fat. The main ingredient of tofu, namely protein and fat, depends on its water content. The more water content it has, the more digestible and absorbingly do they become. Especially, soft tofu, a waterier variant of tofu, has increased digestibility of up to 95 %, as opposed to the 65 % for the most frequently consumed harder tofu. Soondubu also contains more linoleum and lecithin acids, two of the essential adipose acids for the human body, also known as the materials reducing the cholesterol adhering to the surface of blood vessels. The consumption of soft tofu, therefore, has a strong effect of preventing so-called adult diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attack. * MAKING TOFU OF CHODANGGOL Copyright©2006 CHODANGGOLNY.com.
