Fresh tofu is rich in water, in which water-soluble nutrients, such as minerals and vitamins, are easily lost with the exudation of juice, but it is not as good as frozen tofu to preserve nutrients. Fresh tofu contains a lot of flavonoids and lecithin, which will not be reduced by freezing. At present, the test results show that the water content of frozen tofu with the same weight is less than that of fresh tofu.

The water content of frozen tofu mainly exists in the state of ice slag, which can lock the juice in fresh tofu in time and retain the water-soluble nutrients in it. Some people worry that nutrients will be lost during thawing. In fact, as long as the tofu is cooked with fresh vegetables and processed into a light stew before thawing, nutrients can be prevented from oozing out with the juice.
