Originated in Indonesia, Tempe is a kind of high-protein soybean fermented food made from soybean, which is shelled, soaked, and inoculated with the leaves of broad-leaved trees such as Xiangjiao tree, millet village or laurel, and fermented by Rhizopus, which is parasitic on its leaves.
Tempe is rich in nutrition and unique in style. compared with soybean raw materials, Tempe has excellent quality and unique flavor in many aspects.
The appearance is novel and is favored by the people of Southeast Asia.
The essential amino acids contained in Tempe are complete protein and well balanced, which can be used as a supplement to some protein foods such as lysine.
Most of the amino acids in Tempe are higher than the reference values set by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
It is the best substitute for fish and a good source of protein for vegetarians.
After fermentation, Tempe forms the intermediate product of protein hydrolysis-polypeptide, which is the most active, easy to digest and absorb, and has higher physiological function, which can promote energy metabolism, reduce cholesterol and antioxidant.
The protein digestion and absorption rate of Tempe increased from 65.3% of soybean to more than 93.8%. (the digestibility of unfermented soybean is 600.65%.
The results of nitrogen metabolism experiment in rats show that the apparent digestibility of Danbei is 94.4%, and the true digestibility is 91.4%.
The fermentation produces highly active protease, which significantly increases the free amino acids and polypeptides of Tempe.
And is easy to digest without inflating, so as to meet the protein needs of the elderly and the weak.
The protein and cellulose of Tempe can reduce blood sugar and prevent diabetes complicated with cardio-cerebral nephropathy.
People with type 2 diabetes and diabetic patients with animal protein allergy are especially suitable for Tianbei's protein.
Increased vitamins and minerals Tianbei is rich in vitamins and calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and other minerals.
After glycolysis, the content of vitamin B increased significantly, such as B1, B2, B6, B12, nicotinic acid, folic acid, and so on.
This is good news for vegetarians, the elderly, intestinal lesions, and lack of gastric acid, especially patients after gastrectomy!
The main course and side dish can be made by Tempe. Tianbei's practice is also very simple, in a word, just use it instead of meat, and other methods are the same.
It can even be sliced, lightly fried in oil, and then sprinkled with soy sauce, which is rare and delicious.
One of the most popular is Tempe Goreng or fried tempeh, which is usually served with a variety of succulent Sambal sauces.
At first, you may think it has a unique taste, and then you will like it.
