Tempeh (pronounced tèm-pay) is a traditional, cultured soy food from Indonesia.

Tempeh is easy to digest, it is among the best providers of high quality plant-based protein and low in saturated fats; free of cholesterol; and a good source of vitamins (especially B vitamins) and minerals (including magnesium, potassium, zinc and manganese).

The culturing process transforms the soybeans into a new food, called tempeh, with totally new characteristics. For instance, a person allergic to soy beans might be able to enjoy tempeh without experiencing the allergic reactions he or she would normally experience when eating plain soy beans. Ask your doctor about it.
