About Tofu, raw, firm, prepared with calcium sulfate
This versatile plant-based protein is made by curdling fresh soy milk, pressing it into a solid block, and cooling it—much like cheese making. The firm variety holds its shape well and has a slightly nutty, mild flavor that readily absorbs marinades and seasonings. It's naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids the body needs. Thanks to the use of calcium sulfate in its preparation, it also provides a notable amount of calcium, which supports bone health, along with smaller amounts of iron, magnesium, and potassium.
Its dense texture makes it ideal for grilling, stir-frying, baking, or crumbling into scrambles. Many people enjoy it cubed and pan-seared until golden, tossed into hearty vegetable stir-fries, or marinated and baked for a protein-packed salad topping. Because it takes on the flavors of whatever it's cooked with, it's a staple in cuisines ranging from Asian to modern plant-based dishes. For those watching sodium intake, it's worth noting that some packaged versions may contain added salt, so checking labels can help keep intake in check.
