About Fermented soybean cake

Fermented soybean cake, commonly known as tempeh, is a traditional Indonesian food made from soybeans that have been cultured with a natural fungus. This fermentation process binds the soybeans into a firm, cake-like form, offering a nutty flavor and chewy texture. Tempeh is a powerhouse of nutrition, rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like B6 and magnesium. It’s an excellent plant-based protein, often favored by vegetarians and vegans, and contains probiotics that promote gut health. Unlike many processed soy products, tempeh is minimally processed and retains many nutrients. However, its sodium content can vary depending on preparation or added seasoning, which may be worth monitoring for those watching their sodium intake. Tempeh can be steamed, fried, or baked and is a versatile ingredient in dishes worldwide, from stir-fries to sandwiches, reflecting its roots in Southeast Asian cuisine with growing global popularity.
