Silken tofu is a softer-set block. 6.3 g protein, 0.8 g fat, and 37 kcal per 100 g. Soy protein equals dairy for muscle outcomes (Reid-McCann et al., Nutr Rev 2025). The silken format blends smoothly into sauces and desserts, where firm tofu would retain cubes.
How should I track Mori-Nu, Tofu, silken, lite firm?
When tracking Mori-Nu, Tofu, silken, lite firm, the dry-vs-cooked distinction is critical. Legumes absorb roughly 2–3 times their weight in water during soaking and cooking, so 100 g dry becomes 250–300 g cooked. Always check which form the nutrition values refer to. A meta-analysis of 43 RCTs (Reid-McCann et al., Nutr Rev 2025) found plant protein matches dairy for muscle outcomes — so tracking precision matters just as much here. If you use canned legumes, drain and rinse to reduce sodium by about 40%. Weigh on a kitchen scale for the most reliable count.
