Can I freeze tofu?

We do not recommend freezing WabiSabi™ Tofu while still in its packaging.

You can however freeze it after taking it out of the packaging. Some recipes require this process in order to alter the texture of the Tofu. It will become spongy in texture and the colour might change to slightly yellow without affecting its fitness for consumption. 

It can be kept in a freezer safe bag or container. To defrost, it is recommended to let it thaw in the refrigerator.

Can I consume uncooked Tofu?

Yes! WabiSabi® Tofu is delicious and safe to consume as it is. Check out our Recipes Section for ideas on how to elevate your Tofu experience.
