Soft tofu, also known as silken tofu, is a delicate soy-based product originating from East Asian cuisine. Made by curdling fresh soy milk and pressing it into its silky, smooth form, soft tofu contains essential nutrients such as plant-based proteins, calcium, iron, and magnesium, making it a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets. With minimal fat and cholesterol, it provides a heart-healthy protein source while being naturally low in calories. Soft tofu is prized for its versatility, commonly featured in soups, desserts, smoothies, and sauces. Its mild flavor pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes, absorbing spices and marinades easily. While traditionally healthy, some store-bought tofu may contain added sodium or thickeners, so checking labels is recommended. High in isoflavones, it offers potential benefits for hormonal balance and bone strength. Soft tofu is an excellent choice for those seeking gentle nutrition with culinary adaptability.
