Recipes with tempeh

Whether you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, as if you simply love healthy food and follow a healthy and natural diet (and if not, I advise you to take it as your health and your own body will thank you) There is no doubt about the importance of choosing foods rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

An example is the tempeh, a delicious food that is the result of controlled fermentation by cooking soy beans with a Rhizopus fungus. It is originally from Indonesia, where it is usually consumed for many centuries.

The truth is that it is a food that in addition to being versatile in the kitchen is extremely beneficial from a nutritional point of view. For example, it is very rich in proteins and also provides all the essential amino acids, which makes it an ideal alternative to foods of animal origin. In fact, 100 grams of tempeh contribute about 40% of the proteins we need each day.

If you have already tried the tempeh and you love it, or if you even want to encourage it to taste it and make it at home, here are some suggestions delicious recipes with tempeh.
