Product Information
- INCLUDES: 4 packets of tempeh starter spores (rice, Rhizopus Oligosporus culture) and detailed instructions for making your own authentic tempeh. Each packet cultures 2 cups of dried beans, which translates to about 1.5 pounds after soaking, boiling, and culturing.
- AUTHENTIC TASTE: Tempeh is a delicious Indonesian dish made by fermenting beans so that mycelium knits them together and produces a sort of cake with a nutty, smoky, mushroomy flavor.
- VEGAN PROTEIN: One of the best homemade meat substitutes you could ask for, finished tempeh can be marinated, sliced, fried, or however you would prepare meat. Put in sandwiches, soup, or level up with vegan bacon or meatless chicken nuggets!
- VERSATILE: This incredible plant based protein is traditionally made with soy beans, but can also be made with black beans, garbanzo beans, mung beans, or adzuki beans, to name a few. This starter contains no soy, so if you're avoiding it, we've got you covered.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: In addition to boasting 2.5x the protein of tofu, tempeh is a great source of calcium, riboflavin, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and manganese; and as with all fermented foods, contains probiotics for digestive health.
