FERM Fresh Organic Chickpea Tempeh (200g x 2) 400g

Get ready to groove with chickpeas! Chickpeas are a great combo of carbohydrate, protein, B vitamins and minerals. They have a low glycemic index, making them ideal for blood sugar management! An incredibly versatile legume and a breeze to cook with, our Organic Chickpea Tempeh is the perfect choice if you’re diving into the world of Tempeh for the first time!

The process of crafting tempeh involves partially cooking beans/grains, inoculating the beans/grains with Rhizopus spores, and through incubation, these beans/grains transform into a solid cake bound by a dense, white, cotton-like mycelium. Throughout fermentation, enzymes work their magic, breaking down soy proteins, oils, and carbohydrates, making them more easily digestible and bioavailable.

Packed with probiotics, antioxidants and isoflavones, studies suggest that Tempeh may help keep cholesterol levels down, boost bone health, and stabilize blood sugar. In addition to the high protein content, it is loaded with vitamins and minerals such as iron, manganese, copper, and phosphorus making it a worthy addition to any kitchen!

Our Tempehs are vegan, gluten-free, nut free, and a powerful bean protein! It has a dry and firm but chewy texture, and a slightly nutty taste, making it an extremely versatile protein for your plant-based meals.
