Tofu soyeux, commonly known as silken tofu, is a versatile, plant-based food originating from East Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Japanese traditions. Made from coagulated soy milk, silken tofu has a soft, custard-like texture, distinguishing it from firmer tofu varieties. It is typically composed of soybeans, water, and a coagulant like nigari or calcium sulfate. Rich in high-quality plant protein, it is a nutritious option for those following vegetarian or vegan diets. Additionally, silken tofu is low in calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol-free, making it heart-healthy. It contains essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, supporting bone health and energy production. However, as a processed soy product, it may not suit those with soy allergies or sensitivities. Its mild flavor and creamy consistency make it ideal for soups, smoothies, desserts, or as a dairy substitute in recipes, offering both health and culinary versatility.
