Tofu Storage Made Simple

Keep tofu in its original packaging until you’re ready to use it. Once opened, transfer it to an airtight container. Always cover tofu with filtered water in the container—this keeps it from drying out. Change the water every day to keep things fresh. If you’ve cooked or flavored your tofu, just store it in an airtight container without water. For long-term storage, toss unopened tofu straight into the freezer. Opened tofu can be frozen too—just drain it first and use a freezer bag. Watch for spoilage: tofu should stay white and smell neutral. If it turns beige or sour, toss it. Fridge tofu lasts 3-5 days; frozen tofu is good for up to 5 months. Tofu is super handy, but you’ve got to store it right! #tofu #kitchentips #foodstorage #Food #Cooking
