Tempeh is a nutrient-packed, plant-based protein made from fermented soybeans, originating in Indonesia and widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine. It has a firm, chewy texture and a mildly nutty, earthy flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in vegetarian and vegan dishes. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and iron, tempeh is a heart-healthy alternative to meat. Fermentation enhances its digestibility and provides natural probiotics that support gut health. It’s lower in fat than many animal-based proteins and contains no cholesterol, making it ideal for those monitoring heart and weight health. Tempeh can be steamed, grilled, sautéed, or baked, absorbing flavors of marinades or seasonings. Being high in protein, it should be balanced with other nutrient-rich foods to ensure variety in your diet. Always check for allergen concerns if sensitive to soy.
