Tempeh

Tempeh is made by fermenting soybeans and then packing them into rectangular cakes. Tempeh is rough and bumpy in texture with varying spots of discoloration. It’s often fermented with whole grains like brown rice or millet. I love tempeh’s earthy taste, hearty texture, and nutritional profile. It’s a fantastic source of complete protein, fiber, probiotics (gut-healthy nutrients), and iron. Keep tempeh in your fridge (noting its expiration date) or freeze for up to three months. Tempeh is found in the refrigerated section in most health food sections of the grocery store.
