What Is Tofu?
Tofu is the Japanese pronunciation of Chinese “doufu,” which is the product of soybeans. The soaked, ground, and cooked soybean is divided into liquid and solids. The liquid, or soymilk, is then again separated into “curds” (tofu) and “whey” by an added coagulant. The curds/tofu is sold in many different forms and water content usually determines the type of product. Vermont Soy produces firm-style Artisan Tofu, where most of the water has been pressed out of the soy curds making it firm to the touch.

Can tofu be frozen?
Tofu can be frozen, but the texture will change. When tofu is frozen it becomes more porous and can absorb marinades faster and more evenly. The texture of the tofu changes to a more chewy state; some people find this new texture pleasant and some do not.
Is it ok to eat expired tofu?
If you purchased our product with the date already expired we recommend you return it unopened. If after you buy the tofu the date goes out open, smell, and examine the product. The tofu will taste sour. We do not recommend eating products that have begun to spoil. Once the tofu package is opened you can change the water frequently to help extend its life.
Do I need to keep the tofu in the refrigerator?
Yes. Generally if a product is sold refrigerated it needs to stay refrigerated. The closer to 32 degrees a product stays the longer it will last.

The average life after opening is five days. You can help the tofu by submerging the unused tofu in water and changing the water as often as possible.
