My tofu has a weird spot.. Is this normal, or bad?It's Jadeite brand soft tofu. Expiration date on pack is next month. The rest of the tofu is white and it smells normal, but at this little smushed crease on the edge there is some weird brown. Is it weird? Is it bad?
Its always possible that some mishap happens at the factory and bacteria gets inif its brand new the bacteria just hasnt had time to spread
>>22037542>Is it weird?yes>Is it bad?how would I know?
>>22037542>Is it bad?probably. i suppose there's a chance it's from the cooking process and maybe some browned bits got into it, but i don't think i would eat it anyway just to be safe.
>>22037542Throw it away or return it. Not worth the risk.
>>22037548damn... i did have it in my car for like an hour after i bought it since the chinese store was far away.. so it mightve got a bit warm which mightve exacerbated this..>>22037557>>22037562>>22037563thanks for your input. i might just try to get a new block.
>>22037569>chinese storeThat's corona-20 on your tofu. You are already dead.
>>22037569>chinese storein what kind of backwood shithole do you live that only chinese stores carry fucking tofu? we have a whole wall of fridges dedicated to all kinds of tofu and I live in the middle of flyover beef land.
>>22038069Probably some diggerydoo part of Australia
>>22037569nah an hour in a car won't do anything like this. it's something that was already there in the package at the store.
>>22038069nta but I live in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania and we had exactly 1 tofu in the entire Walmart which is organic extra firm
>>22038214>shops at walmarthere's your problem. how about you shop for groceries in an actual grocery store you stupid yank?
>>22038216Walmart is the only grocery store
>>22038069all the white stores only carry firm and extra firm and silken because white people want to make it like meat or use it in smoothies. i needed regular soft tofu and the chinese store was the only one that carried it.
>>22038308>fake meat / smoothies...or because firm is objectively superior, because it soaks up flavors better due to its structure, and it doesn't fall apart when you try to eat it
>>22037542That's bacterial growth. Toss the whole block. It's probably growing in the rest of the tofu but you can't see it.
