Store tofu in the refrigerator in its original packaging until opened. Once opened, submerge it in fresh water in an airtight container and change the water daily to maintain freshness. For longer storage, tofu can be frozen, though the texture will become firmer and more porous, which works well for certain recipes like stir-fries or soups. Avoid leaving tofu at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
