The product consists of tofu pieces that are ready to be prepared in your choice of recipe and take just five minutes to be cooked, which will come as welcome news to time-poor consumers. The product is positioned as being perfect for use in stir-fries and curries, while also being suited for salads and flatbreads with your choice of seasoning. Consumer Director at Cauldron Foods Gill Riley commented on the Cauldron Tofu Pieces saying, "Shoppers are busier than ever, looking for convenient and delicious meals that don’t cost the earth, and this is even more evident in January. The new Cauldron Tofu Pieces have been chopped into the perfect bitesize cube and then lightly fried, meaning they can be cooked in record time."
