Tempeh

Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake that has been pressed into a compact cake. This high-protein meat substitute is firm but chewy, and it may be baked, steamed, or sautéed before serving.

Tempeh is high in numerous nutrients that may benefit your health, in addition to its excellent probiotic content. Soy protein, for example, has been found to help lower some heart disease risk factors. According to a study of more than 40 research, consuming 25 grams (0.88 ounces) of soy protein per day for six weeks reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol by 3.2% and total cholesterol by 2.8%. A previous test-tube study discovered that certain plant components in tempeh may work as antioxidants. Free radicals, which are damaging molecules that can lead to chronic disease, are reduced by antioxidants. Tempeh is suitable for both vegetarians and omnivores. Sandwiches and stir-fries are particularly well-suited to it.
