What is Silken Tofu?
Silken tofu is a type of tofu with a smooth, creamy texture. It is made by coagulating soy milk, but unlike regular (or “firm”) tofu, it is not pressed to remove excess moisture.
This results in a softer, more delicate consistency. Silken tofu is often used in dishes where a creamy texture is desired, such as smoothies, puddings, soups, sauces, and desserts.
It comes in various consistencies, ranging from “soft” to “extra firm,” with the softer varieties being particularly smooth and delicate.
Silken tofu is versatile and can be blended easily into recipes, and it has a mild or neutral flavour that absorbs the taste of whatever it is mixed with. It is also commonly used as a dairy substitute in vegan and vegetarian cooking.
As we can see above, silken tofu recipes are versatile, ranging from vegan ommletes to chocolate mousse.
- Best tofu for blended beverages, sauces, dips, and thicken soups without adding any dairy.
- Soybeans are known for being a complete protein which means they supply all 9 essential amino acids.
- Long shelf life which means you can store in your pantry without refrigeration until opened.
- Made with non-GMO soy and free of saturated fat, is low fat and gluten-free.
- Dairy-free, certified gluten-free, vegan, KSA Kosher Parve, & made in USA.
