What is Tempeh?
Tempeh is made from fermented whole soybeans. Some versions also contain flax seeds and brown rice giving it a boost in protein and iron. This meat alternative gets an A+ from me for its nutritional profile. Tempeh is always vegan but often contains gluten so check the packaging carefully if you need it to be gluten free. Β It is a blank canvas for whatever you decide to do with it. I must warn you, it does not taste good plain. Be sure to add this sriracha marinade or try one of my other tempeh creations I linked below.Β New to tempeh? Start here:Β Reasons to Eat Tempeh.
