What is the healthiest tofu to eat?
Silken tofu contains only about half the calories and fat, while firm tofu contains over twice the protein. The reason for this is water content. Silken tofu contains the most water, while firm tofu is drier and more dense.
Does tofu need to be refrigerated?
An opened raw tofu should only be kept at room temperature for food preparation or in a meal for less than 1 hour.
After 1 hour, the tofu will degrade its quality and may cause you foodborne illness if consumed. Cooked tofu can be kept at room temperature for a maximum of 2 hours.
