If you have been reading my blog you know I do not like fake or processed foods, which includes most soy. Organic tempeh is one of the few soy products I use. It is made from whole soybeans, has been fermented to remove phytates and trypsin inhibitors, and has been safely consumed for thousands of years. Tofu, soy milk and tvp retain phytates and trypsin inhibitors which block the body from absorbing minerals and nutrients, and tvp and soy milk are highly processed using chemicals that should not be consumed. Organic tempeh is highly nutritious and loaded with protein. It comes in handy for the occasional quick meal.
