About Silken Tofu

Silken tofu is a variety of tofu known for its smooth, custardy texture and high moisture content, making it an ideal binder in baking. Unlike its firmer counterparts, silken tofu is not pressed, which allows it to blend seamlessly into batters, contributing to a tender crumb and moist texture. Its neutral flavor ensures it doesn’t overpower other ingredients, making it a versatile choice for vegan and allergy-friendly recipes, such as cookies, cakes, and muffins, where it effectively replaces eggs and dairy.
