About Dried Tofu
Dried tofu (pressed, seasoned) - about twice the protein density of silken tofu.
Health Benefits of Dried Tofu
Tofu vs pressed tofu nutrition
Pressed tofu (豆腐干) is tofu pressed to remove most water, giving ~15.8g protein per 100g - over three times southern/silken tofu. Concentration also raises calcium and iron per gram, making it a protein-dense daily food.
Many varieties, varied flavour
Common kinds are plain, five-spice and tea-scented; the brine spices make them taste different. Five-spice pressed tofu stir-fries well with chives, green pepper; tea-scented is a snack or beer side. Firm and chewy, it doesn't crumble when cooked.
15.8g protein, only 3.2g carbs; low-sugar soy food
Only 3.2g carbs per 100g means less blood-sugar impact than refined carb staples. Using pressed tofu partly in place of meat protein keeps protein intake while cutting saturated fat - good for heart health and blood-sugar management.
