Tofu is one of the building blocks of a healthy vegan diet. It's super versatile too, so good to stock up on.
Such a healthy option, tofu is full of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
It's also low-calorie and low-fat.
Types of tofu
There are two main types of tofu, firm tofu and silken tofu.
Firm tofu is mainly used in savoury dishes where you need a firm texture.
Generally, it needs to be pressed to remove liquid, but if you buy extra firm tofu, it's ready-pressed so you can skip pressing it and just pat it with kitchen roll (kitchen paper) to absorb any excess liquid from the packet.
Silken tofu has a creamier texture and is the perfect choice when making creamy sauces or desserts.
