This week I share with you a highly under-rated product; tempeh.
What is it? Soy! Vegetarians and carnivores alike can enjoy this product... everyone needs a little soy in their life. Personally, I am not a huge fan of tofu. It makes me bloat and I can never get the consistency right. Tempeh is a different ball game. It's firm, easy to cook, and easy to spruce up with sauce or spices. It's also higher in both protein and fiber than other soy products. Although a little higher in calories, it's less processed and keeps you fuller longer.
Why chose Tempeh?
- Natural, earth based product with good consistency
- Rich in vitamins and minerals: magnesium, fiber, protein, vitamin B12
- Fermentation of tempeh leads to easier digestion and absorption of nutrients
- It's inexpensive! Throw in some peppers and onions and your dinner can cost you less than five dollars. Take that, Subway.
Whether you're trying to cut out red meat (which I always recommend) or just looking to switch up your diet, tempeh is a great alternative.
