WHAT IS TEMPEH?



TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TEMPEH:

1. made from whole soybeans that are soaked, dehulled, and partially cooked
2. it’s the only major soy-based food that did not originate in China or Japan
3. is created through fermentation
4. loaded with vegetable protein (20 grams per serving)
5. easy to digest
6. often used as a meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian cuisine
7. a staple food in Indonesia for over 2000 years
8. very good source of manganese
9. great source of fiber
10. tastes great!

As a vegetarian, I am always in search of vegetable protein sources, and tempeh is an excellent addition to the legumes, lentils, beans and whole grain products I consume daily. And because of its texture, it can be prepared in many ways:

· stir-fried
· sliced
· diced
· grated
· shredded
· baked
· pan-fried
· grilled
· stewed

And, the best part, it tastes delicious.

Tempeh has inspired me to get back in the kitchen and create a few new veg out with mike vids—stay tuned.

Also, a soy-base, meat-substitute food like tempeh, that is low in calories, high in fiber, and loaded with healthy protein, will help you lose weight. How much weight is up to you, as this video will help explain:
