Mediterranean Tofu Scramble

Chard and sesame are the noteworthy ingredients in this scramble. The gorgeous, deep colors of chard leaves - red and green - are directly proportional to their phytonutrient content. Sesame seeds and oil are known for natural, mild laxative properties; thus, this a recommended choice for those battling constipation.
