Tofu- Does the net weight packaging include water?

1992Leigh1992

So I am cooking tofu for dinner and measuring everything so I can log it. The meal I am cooking has four servings.

The package indicates a net weight of 300g. So I thought each serve would have 75g tofu.

When I weighed the tofu it was 460g.

Does the net weight refer to the tofu before the added water (in which case I will allow for 115g for each piece)?

Or, is it labelled wrong?

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Don't know how helpful this will be, but have you tried calling the company? There should be a number or website on the package and you can directly ask them, they will know! I've done this many times, usually asking if a product has cheese, or if the meat in the canned soup is fully cooked. Good luck!

Put it on the kitchen scales and then you'll know.

I put it on the scales and it weighed 460. The thing is that even after draining tofu it is still carrying a lot of water.

I tried calling the company but no answer. Will try again tomorrow.

Thanks everyone anyway.
