According to studies, the so-called isoflavones contained in tofu have positive effects on women. A look at Asian countries shows that in countries where soy consumption is particularly high, diseases such as breast or colon cancer occur less frequently than in Western countries. As studies show, women who consume soy products at least once a week have a lower risk of breast cancer. For a good supply of isoflavones, our Tofu Sticks are a good choice.

Instead of whole wheat breadcrumbs try Panko, the Asian version of breadcrumbs. Made from white bread without the crust. It is coarser and thus the crust becomes even crispier.
