Can You Eat Tofu Raw? the Surprising Truth Behind Commercial Packaging
By Alexander Ross
The belief that tofu requires extensive cooking stems from treating it like raw meat rather than what it actually is: a delicate, fresh, pre-cooked curd akin to fresh mozzarella or paneer. The factory pasteurization lines ensure that clean, fresh blocks are ready to eat the moment the seal breaks. By ditching the deep fryer on warm evenings, rinsing away the factory brine, and applying sharp, acidic dressings over cold silken blocks, cooks can skip the oil, eliminate the cleanup, and view one of the world's oldest plant proteins through an honest, unvarnished lens.
