About Tempeh
Tempeh starts as whole soybeans bound together by a controlled fermentation with Rhizopus mold, pressed into a firm, sliceable cake. The fermentation makes the protein more digestible than plain cooked soybeans and develops a distinctly nutty, slightly mushroomy flavor. Protein is high and fat is moderate. It holds its shape when pan-fried or grilled, absorbs marinades readily, and works in sandwiches, stir-fries, and grain bowls as a meat substitute with real textural substance.
