Marigold Braised Vegan Tofu, 225g – High Protein, Gluten-Free, Ready-to-Eat, Versatile Plant-Based Soya

Love these . Very versatile

Quite simply the most delicious and versatile version of tofu around. It used to be available in a couple of supermarkets and Holland & Barrett but is now increasingly hard to find - so these overpriced multi packs are sadly one of the few ways to get hold of it.

We love this. I like mine served cold straight from the tin. Nice with salad, chips, roast potatoes -— anything really. Ten out of ten.

This was my first experience of tofu and I was expecting a slimy, gelatinous, colourless gunge - but I was pleasantly surprised. This canned, braised tofu looks a little odd when you open the tin; it consists of layers of light-brown, fibrous looking material in a thick liquid (as Lisa Simpson might say, "packed in its own drool"). There is little smell and the tofu has a reasonable amount of consistency and texture - you feel like you are cutting through it with a spoon, rather than just ladeling slime. The taste (eaten cold and without anything else) is pleasant; fairly bland and difficult to describe. The closest comparison I can find is to eating a mild cold-meat product. The upside is that here you have a quite healthy snack meal which can be kept in the cupboard long-term. It's versatile enough to serve with a number of other things, or simply to eat on its own, uncooked. The downside is that this is not cheap and the protein content (about 10%) is not huge. So there is nothing magical about tofu... it's just soya beans after all. But it's certainly a useful addition to the pantry. Definitely worth a try.

Delicious as always, glad to catch it on a prime deal as it's so pricey generally now

Consistently good quality, great for a veggie roast or in a Ramen noodle bowl.

Yummy!

Forgot how tasty this tastes. Fab way to have tofu.
