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, which changes its texture to a chewier consistency, ideal for certain recipes. Avoid leaving tofu at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
