  • Stir the sausage tofu mixture frequently until it begins to form a curd (doughy/springy). Transfer it to a non-stick (glass) container and let it set in the fridge or freezer until it forms a block.

🧂If you absolutely must add salt then try to add it to taste, and in small amounts, mostly to the ketchup or any dipping sauces you might use after tasting it. The same goes for other “less healthy” additions, but the idea should be to try to limit and eventually remove adding them, over time, when you are ready.

The Science – Sources

🧪 This section tells you all about the ingredients’ scientific effects, from the latest medical research, and cites sources so you can investigate further.
Fennel Seeds
This study titled: “Nitrites derived from Foneiculum vulgare (fennel) seeds promotes vascular functions,” shows that fennel helps with arterial and vascular functions which are needed for exercise and physical activity.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23240972/
Garlic
Although this study found that garlic doesn’t improve physical performance, it did find that “garlic supplementation attenuates exercise-induced oxidative inflammation and muscle damage during a 40-km bout of cycling.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10184592
Lentils
this study, “Twelve Weeks of Daily Lentil Consumption Improves Fasting Cholesterol and Postprandial Glucose and Inflammatory Responses-A Randomized Clinical Trial,” and this study suggests that “Polyphenol-rich lentils have a potential effect on human health, possessing properties such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29125587/
Nutritional Yeast: This study concluded that the “combined vitamin C and glutathione [part of nutritial yeast] supplementation was more effective in improving metabolic function, skeletal oxygenation, cardiac function, and antioxidant function during prolonged submaximal exercise in middle-aged triathletes.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37571262/
Onion Powder
The effect of onion and its constituents on oxidative stress, inflammatory and immune system were shown indicating their therapeutic value in treatment of various diseases associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune-dysregulation.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7919894/
Paprika
This study concludes by saying: “Active multitasking exercise and PX supplementation may have positive effects on cognitive function. The synergistic effect of multitasking exercise and PX supplementation on brain activity and cognitive function may be attributable to the enhancement of oxygen delivery efficiency by maintaining the deformability of red blood cells in the blood.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8775015/
Rosemary
Ginger, rosemary, and turmeric showed protective capacity by both oxidative protection and inflammation measures.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23378457/
Sage
It is therefore suggested that Salvia [sage] effects are not negatively or positively affected by the exercise performed. Salvia demonstrated universal effects in fresh or fatigued conditions. It has a potential impact in the context of sport performance and more generally in the context of physical activity but requires more real-world exercises and cognitive tasks.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8671046/
Split (Yellow) Peas
This study found that adding split pea to certain foods reduced the glycemic index, and this study shows lower hunger after eating bread with added split pea flower: “[…]pea-containing [bread] variants resulted in 18% higher fullness and 16-18% lower hunger, desire to eat, and prospective food consumption ratings compared to 100% [wheat] bread”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8997531/
Tomato
This study used tomato powder, since it’s easier to fit in a pill to do placebo tests, but the title gives it all away: “Tomato powder is more effective than lycopene to alleviate exercise-induced lipid peroxidation in well-trained male athletes: randomized, double-blinded cross-over study.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33639967/
Thyme
Thyme is particularly rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. Vitamin A is an antioxidant known for being vital in maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin as well as good vision. Vitamin C is essential to resist infectious diseases and protects against harmful pro-inflammatory free radicals. Thyme also contains B-complex vitamins, mainly vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), that assists in maintaining the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain and acts as a stress reliever. Vitamin K, vitamin E and folic acid are also present in thyme.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9147557/#:~:text=Thyme%20Nutritional%20Value%20and%20Health%20Benefits&text=Thyme%20is%20particularly%20rich%20in,as%20well%20as%20good%20vision.
Vinegar
This study titled: Vinegar intake enhances flow-mediated vasodilatation via upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity, shows that vinegar can dialate the blood vessels and otherwise help blood and arterial flow.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20460711/
