Tempe Maknyus

Tempe is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans.It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form.A fungus, Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae, is used in the fermentation process and is also known as tempe starter. Like tofu, tempeh is made from soybeans, but it is a whole-soybean product with different nutritional

characteristics and textural qualities. Tempe's fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins. It has a firm texture and an earthy flavor, which becomes more pronounced as it ages. Rich in vitamin B12 and is a high-protein food, Tempe has nine essential amino acids that the body needs for healthy bones and muscles. Furthermore, the doctor who opened the practice at RSCM explained that tempeh is a super food or a superfood native to Indonesia. He also provided data on 100 grams of tempeh containing at least 20.8 grams of protein, 8.8 grams of fat, 1.4 grams of fiber, and 201 calories. In comparison, in 100 grams of beef, it usually contains only 17.5 grams of protein.
