Details

Adding plant-based options to your menu doesn't mean you have to sacrifice great taste and satisfying nutrition! Create menu items that your vegan and vegetarian customers are sure to love with this Lightlife original tempeh! While tempeh has been enjoyed in Indonesia for centuries, it is beginning to gain popularity in Western countries, especially as healthy, plant-based, environmentally friendly diets continue to trend. This traditional Javanese cake is made from whole organic soybeans that are partially cooked, then fermented with a fungal culture similar to those used to make yogurt and cheese. The result is a firm, chunky cake with hearty, nutty, mushroom-y, umami flavor and a distinctly meaty texture. In addition to its great taste, this tempeh has a whopping 12 grams of protein per serving, making it a satisfying way to get essential nutrition without eating animal-based products.

Tempeh is an extremely versatile ingredient that can be prepared in a number of ways, making it a dynamic addition to your menu. Each case includes (5) 2 lb. blocks of tempeh, allowing you to cut it to your desired size. Try cubing this tempeh, marinating it with the ingredients of your choice, then frying it up and tossing it into a stir fry or Asian-inspired noodle dish! You can also blend tempeh in a food processor until it is approximately the consistency of ground beef, then season and use as a plant-based taco filling. Slice this tempeh into strips, marinate, and fry to create a satisfying vegan sandwich filling! This delicious ingredient is a great way to make sure your menu stays up to date by appealing to industry trends like meat alternatives and fermented foods. Please note that because it is made with live cultures, tempeh must always be fully cooked before it is served to prevent foodborne illness.
