What is Tempeh?

Tempeh is a plant-based proteins made from cooked and slightly fermentedsoybeans. This fermentation helps to break down the phytic acid in soybeans, making the starches in tempeh easier to digest. After fermentation, the soybeans are formed into a patty similar to a very firmveggie burgeror a block. It has a firm texture that can easily be sliced or even crumbled.

It is a very important full protein dietary source, equivalent to meat, milk and eggs, and thus is a vital choice in vegetarian and vegan diets, as well as being a useful alternative in a varied meat-based diet.

Why should we eat Tempeh?

Tempeh ishighly nutritiveand contains health promoting phytochemicals like isoflavones and saponins. The fermentation process actually produces natural antibiotic agents while leaving the desirable soy isoflavones as well as the saponins intact. Tempeh isrich in high quality protein, containing all essential amino acids. In comparison to tofu that is made from a soybean extract, tempeh keeps all the fiber of the original soybean. Its a healthy dish even for our planet as consumers often replace meat with tempeh, thus reducing the need for land. Greenhouse gas emissions emitted from animal-based food is 250 times higher than that of legumes.

How to eat Tempeh?

On its own and uncooked, tempeh has a very mild taste and is almost flavorless.. Like tofu, tempeh is rarely eaten by itself but is incorporated into other dishes and readily absorbs those flavours to mollify and disguise its own. However, it does a great job soaking up marinades and flavors and if cooked well, tastes AMAZING!

Tempeh is incredibly versatile, it can be layering into sandwiches, crumbling it up to mimic ground meat, tossing into stir fries, and searing it like a steak.

Now that you know all about tempeh and why its wonderful, nutritious, and delicious, its time to get into the kitchen and experiment!
