What is Tempeh?

Tempeh is fermented soy beans. You can probably find tempeh at your local grocery store, in the refrigerated section. It is formed into a thin, rectangular block that can be sliced or crumbled according to your preference or a recipe's instructions.

Tempeh is low in calories, and high in protein, fiber and magnesium. It's a simple and healthful way to add bulk and protein to many dishes. Chili, bowls, pasta dishes, burritos and sandwiches, to name a few, can be enhanced by the addition of deliciously prepared tempeh.
