‘It’s actually a superfood!’ Why tempeh is suddenly on every menu – and coming to a supermarket near you

Tempeh, a protein-rich superfood and close relative of tofu, is gaining popularity on menus and in supermarkets. Its versatility allows it to be sliced, smoked, marinated, or even transformed into burgers and 'bacon'. As consumers move away from traditional mock-meat options, tempeh offers a nutritious alternative that caters to the growing demand for plant-based foods. This shift not only highlights the changing landscape of dietary preferences but also emphasizes the importance of incorporating diverse protein sources into our diets.
