How to identify synthetic tofu:

One look: Take a piece of tofu and observe it directly under scattered light. Traditional tofu is uniformly milky white or light yellow and slightly shiny. Because of the added white pigment, synthetic tofu is much whiter and duller than traditional tofu; it may also contain water lines, bubbles, fine particles, etc.

Second touch: Traditional tofu can feel a certain elasticity when pressed with your hands, and it is moderately soft and hard. The cut surface of synthetic tofu will be rough, the texture is not fine, the elasticity is poor, and there is no white tofu liquid flowing out.

Three smells: smell the smell directly at room temperature. Traditional tofu is made from soybeans and has a soybean flavor. Synthetic tofu is made from soy protein isolate and has a very light smell, even smelling like chemicals.
