About EXTRA FIRM TOFU
Simple Truth Extra Firm Tofu is an organic plant-based protein product under The Kroger Co.'s Simple Truth sub-brand, representing an earlier or alternate formulation compared to a similar USDA-catalogued entry. Extra firm tofu achieves its dense, low-moisture texture through an extended pressing process that removes more water from soy curds than softer tofu grades, yielding a product that retains its shape well during high-heat cooking methods such as pan-frying, baking, air-frying, and grilling.
This formulation's ingredient list is minimal: water, organic whole soybeans, and magnesium chloride. Notably, this version uses only magnesium chloride (nigari) as its coagulant, without the calcium sulfate present in the related listing. Magnesium chloride is the traditional Japanese tofu-setting mineral, known for producing a slightly sweeter tofu with a more delicate interior. Organic whole soybeans indicate USDA-certified organic sourcing. No additives, thickeners, or preservatives are included.
Nutritionally, this product provides 101 calories per 100 grams with 10.13 grams of protein, 2.53 grams of carbohydrates, 5.06 grams of fat, and 1.3 grams of dietary fiber. The slight differences from the companion listing likely reflect minor batch variation or a formula revision. The product is appropriate for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-carbohydrate diets. Allergen note: contains soy. This tofu can be marinated and seasoned to absorb flavors effectively, making it a versatile meat substitute in savory dishes.
Ingredients
WATER, ORGANIC WHOLE SOYBEANS, MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE.
