Vegan Chronicles – Tempeh….Not a Music Speed

Tempeh (tem-pei) is a soy product that is used as a replacement for meat. When I first seen it on blogs, I thought in my mind about the tempo of music; it struck me funny, the name. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form, similar to a very firm vegetarian burger patty. This fermentation provides all the necessary amino acids a vegan diet may be missing. http://www.tempeh.info/health/health.php 
 

I eat Tempeh, this product addresses many of my nutritional concerns. Many of the recipes I convert which expects ground beef, pork or chicken; I chop, season and fry the Tempeh and add it to the recipe. Tempeh also gives you other health benefits as indicated on this hyperlink page, it is amazing! http://www.tempeh.info/health/tempehhealth.php

Tempeh is an amazing food product and there is no waste, such as bone or fat. When I buy a pre-packaged item I always look into how to make it from scratch. That is where Grandma Spicy found the Tempeh info page. Although making my own Tempeh is not on my schedule at the moment, it is on my radar.  I would highly recommend Tempeh; I prefer it over Tofu because of texture and appearance.
