WHAT IS TEMPEH?

Tempeh has been a staple of Indonesian Culture for centuries and is slowly making its way into the rest of the world. It is a cultured, plant based staple, rich in proteins and nutrients, and one of our favourite foods ever!

We make it by mixing our grains, beans and seeds with a microscopic mushroom culture, called rhizopus oligosporus, and incubating it at a low temperature for 24 hours.

All our products are a live fermented food, packed with protein, and are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan and non gmo.
