What is tempeh?

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian staple food. Cooked legumes are inoculated with a beneficial mold culture and fermented naturally. During this process, the mold transforms the product, breaking down nutrients and making the legumes particularly easy to digest. Tempeh is naturally plant-based and contains many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and plenty of protein.

Our story

Hi, I'm Christopher, founder of Lazybean Tempeh! I'm passionate about cooking and always enjoy trying new things. In 2019, I discovered my love for tempeh – its appearance, unique nutty-mushroom flavor, and fantastic texture immediately captivated me. A few years later, I took the plunge into self-employment.
