A wide variety of tofus can be bought in health food stores, Asian markets and most supermarkets. The firmness depends on how much whey has been extracted. Generally, the harder types are great for substituting for meat, whilst the softer varieties are best for deserts.
Whichever tofu you buy, though, it needs to be stored properly.

What are the best ways to store tofu?
Place the tofu in an airtight container and cover with clean cold water. Then keep in the fridge, changing the water every other day at the minimum, or even better every day.
Don’t keep opened tofu for longer than a week. The taste deteriorates.
