Tempeh, which is the heritage food of Indonesia, is well known as one of the world’s superfoods. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form. Originating from an ancient Javanese word, Tumpi, Tempeh was the food of Majapahit kings, one of the greatest kingdoms of that time.
Tempeh with its earthy flavor, has abundant nutritions everybody needs and the nutritions itself can be easily absorbed by the body.
It’s the number one staple source of plant-based (vegan) protein in Indonesia. Its protein is as much as meat but its price is 10 times cheaper! It is a gift from Indonesia to the world.
