Silken tofu FAQ
Is silken tofu high in protein?
No, silken tofu is not high in protein, but does contribute some. It contains around 7 grams of protein per 6-ounce serving, which contributes 6% of the recommended daily value (DV).
Is silken tofu low FODMAP?
No, silken tofu is not considered low in FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols). It is higher in oligosaccharides, specifically galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which is a type of complex carbohydrate that can cause digestive upset in people who are sensitive to FODMAPs. However, it’s worth noting that firm tofu, which has less water content, tends to be lower in FODMAPs and might be a better choice for those following a low-FODMAP diet.
Is silken tofu gluten free?
Yes, silken tofu is naturally gluten-free as it is made from soybeans, water, and a coagulant. However, you should always check the label for any prepared or flavored tofu products, as they could contain additives or sauces with gluten. Always look for a gluten-free label to be safe, particularly if you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.
