Anyone know if you can freeze tofu? I think I asked this once before
but don't recall getting an answer.

I'm about to try it in small blocs for my dog. She was a late spay and
now leaks a little at night. The natural plant estrogen in organic
tofu is an old asian remedy (works for women too) if it's just an
estrogen issue.

Wasnt sure if any had tried to freeze it and what texture changes to
expect.

Why does texture matter if you're feeding it to the dog?

Depends on how far off it gets. If it turns into pebbles for example,
she may refuse to eat it.

One of our spayed bitches had the same thing. It is a hormone issue
and was easily fixed with regular medication from the vet which we put
in her food. Once the leaking stopped I found we could reduce the
medication to alternate days.

It makes the tofu spongy. Ice crystals form, and these make little holes in it.

It's done traditionally in northern China. Frozen, and then thawed and excess water pressed out. Then you have extra-absorbent tofu that will soak up a sauce like a sponge!
