Tempeh (pronounced tèm-pay) is a traditional, cultured soyfood 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.
As you can see at this link: tempeh nutritional information, tempeh is a great source of a large variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Because it has been fermented, the protein, carbohydrates, and fats are much easier to absorb by our bodies. Therefore, although a bean food, it does not behave the same way as regularly cooked, unfermented beans; it’s gentler on our digestive system.
We only sell our organic tempeh in wholesale quantities online because it is not cost-effective to ship single packages. If you have some freezer space, you can save money by buying in bulk! However, if you don’t want a whole case, you can try a smaller amount of tempeh as part of our sampler pack.
