Question: How long does tofu last when its been sitting in the refrigerator opened!?
I've had tofu in a container in water for about a week!. Is it still good!?

Answers:
I wouldn't use tofu if it had been sitting around for a week without the water changed!. If you have leftovers in the future that you won't use right away, you can freeze it!. The texture will be different when you use it because the liquid inside the tofu freezes and expands!.!.!. and it will be chewier-- less smoothe!. Some people prefer freezing it to use in recipes anyway to achieve that texture!. (drain it first and wrap it tightly)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu needs to be kept submerged in fresh water in an airtight container, and you need to change the water daily!. If you do that it will last a week!. Leaving food open in the fridge is not a good idea as it will become contaminated very quickly!. Tofu especially will pick up other smells from whatever else you left uncovered in your fridge!. So don't be lazy about these things -- your health does depend on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rinse in cold water and then check the smell!. It has a reasonable shelf life!. If it has gone off I think you would know pretty quickly!

I do not thik you can freeze it!. It would go mushy!. The instructions on mine say keep in the fridge!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are supposed to change the water everyday
Dont eat this tofu!.!. it will make your tummy sore and cause big gas problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you should smell it first!. I think that if you leave tofu in a fridge opened it only lasts about 5 days!. I could be wrong!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Forever!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on the brand!. The one in my fridge only last 3 days in an airtight containerWww@FoodAQ@Com

it lasts very long, if you eat a little of it every day and you can't smell it!.!.!. :))Www@FoodAQ@Com
