A super firm block holds its shape, which makes it good for crispy tofu. Our shoppers often cut it into cubes for the air fryer and finish them with a sweet chili glaze. It also works in stir-fries, on kebabs or as a snack, and it takes on whatever flavors you cook it with. Even households that don't usually eat tofu have come around to it, for example in a Korean-inspired salad. Keep it refrigerated.
We call our soy protein heart healthy: diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25g of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of super firm tofu provides 12 grams of soy protein.
At Wildwood, we began as a small deli in San Francisco in 1978, and today we make organic tofu for meals that are better for you and your family without sacrificing taste.

Common Questions
What kind of tofu is best for crispy air fryer tofu?
For crispy tofu, pick the firmest block you can find, and our Wildwood High Protein Tofu, Super Firm is a good one for the job. Less water in the block means the outside dries and browns faster and the cubes keep their shape when you toss them. Ours comes already water-drained, so you can cube it and cook it straight from the package. Shoppers often make air-fryer cubes with it, sometimes finished with a sweet chili glaze.
What's the difference between firm and super firm tofu?
Super firm tofu, like our Wildwood High Protein Tofu, has more water removed than firm tofu, so it's denser, holds its shape better and packs more protein into each ounce. Firm tofu is usually pressed at home before frying or baking. Super firm can often skip that step. Ours is already water-drained, so it's ready for stir-fries, kebabs and snacks without pressing.
How can I get more protein from tofu?
The simplest way is to choose a super firm tofu. With less water in the block, you get more protein per bite, and our Wildwood High Protein Tofu, Super Firm contains about 80g of protein in a 20 oz (567 g) package. For comparison, the FDA's daily value for protein is 50g on a 2,000-calorie diet. Because it takes on whatever flavors you add, it fits into many different meals, which helps if you're eating it often.
Do I need to press Wildwood High Protein Tofu before cooking?
No, our High Protein Tofu, Super Firm doesn't need pressing because it's already water-drained. You can slice or cube it and start cooking, and shoppers say that's one of the things they like most about it. We suggest it for snacks, stir-fries and kebabs.
What does sprouted tofu mean, and is it easier to digest?
Our High Protein Tofu is made with sprouted organic soybeans, which are soybeans allowed to germinate before they're turned into tofu. We use sprouted soybeans because they're easier to digest and help nutrient absorption. The full ingredient list is filtered water, sprouted organic soybeans, nigari (magnesium chloride, a natural firming agent) and calcium sulfate.
Is Wildwood High Protein Tofu organic, non-GMO and kosher?
Yes, our High Protein Tofu, Super Firm is certified organic, non-GMO and kosher. The soybeans are sprouted organic soybeans, set with nigari and calcium sulfate, the traditional coagulants used for tofu.
