How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Tofu
- You should choose tofu that has an off-white color resembling soybeans, feels light in hand, has elasticity, and is smooth, not dry or crumbly; these are good tofu pieces.
- Fresh and pure tofu will have a fragrant smell and a characteristic rich flavor of soybeans.
- Avoid choosing tofu pieces that have turned yellow as these may have been stored for a long time or contain a lot of gypsum.
- You should also avoid tofu pieces that have a faint smell of lime as these contain impurities, which will taste bland, dry, and spongy when eaten.
