If I am being completely honest… I don’t like tempeh. I have tried really hard to like this fermented soy product, but to no avail… Until now.
The reason tempeh is so great is that is a traditionally made fermented soy product. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds whole soybeans into a cake form. The soy carbohydrates in tempeh become more digestible as a result of the fermentation process. Fermented foods are really important for maintaining optimal health as they provide good bacteria for our gut and are a great source of B12.

I’m not a fan of tempeh either – but these sound delicious with all the other flavours added in as well – i’ll have to give them a try 🙂
