Silken tofu, a staple of East Asian cuisine, is a smooth and delicate variety of tofu made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant. Its high water content gives it a custard-like texture, making it ideal for soups, desserts, smoothies, and sauces. Rich in plant-based protein, silken tofu is naturally low in calories, cholesterol-free, and provides essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. It’s also a great source of isoflavones, which are compounds linked to heart health and hormonal balance. While silken tofu is minimally processed and generally considered a healthy option, its sodium content can vary depending on the brand, and those watching sodium intake should check labels carefully. Additionally, because tofu is derived from soybeans, it’s important to consider any sensitivities or allergies. Versatile and nutrient-dense, silken tofu is a fantastic addition to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
