TEMPEH is a fermented soybean food from Indonesia. Tempeh can be substituted in text calling for meat, poultry or fish. It needs to be cooked especially with Soy Sauce or lightly salted water to aid digestion. It can be stored in the fridge or freezer. It is high in protein, fibre, iron and calcium. It is low in saturated fats but contains essential fats such as Omega 3 oils, which help to distribute the fat-soluble vitamins around the bloodstream. This helps to supply energy to the body.
