What is "healthier" or what contains fewer nutrients, smoked tofu or normal tofu? Actually, I would think smoked tofu contains fewer nutrients because some are lost through smoking, which may also require heat.

Smoked tofu typically contains fewer nutrients than regular tofu because much of the nutrient content is lost during the smoking process. Regular tofu contains more protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals than smoked tofu.

So the smoking additionally to the making of the tofu before / boilng of the soy milk reduces the nutrients even more?

Silken tofu contains only about half the calories and fat, while firm tofu contains over twice the protein. The reason for this is water content. Silken tofu contains the most water, while firm tofu is drier and more dense.

Does that mean firm tofu has more nutrients than silken tofu (per 100 kcal and / or 100 g)?

 

[vegansourcream]

Normal tofu is likely to contain more nutrients because it is not heated and it is not exposed to any smoke.

So the soy milk is not heated?
