Organic Lentil Tempeh

Savory, fermented, and soy-free

This organic lentil tempeh is a plant-based, protein-rich meat substitute made from lentils. The lentils are fermented with live cultures into a firm block and then marinated in a special pea-based tamari. The result is a savory tempeh with a pleasantly salty, umami-rich flavor.

The tempeh is vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free.

Fermented with live cultures

The lentils are fermented using the traditional tempeh-making method. During this process, live cultures bind the lentils together into a compact block.

For the marinade, our supplier uses its own gluten-free tamari made from peas and koji (Aspergillus oryzae). Koji is a traditional Japanese fermentation culture that adds extra depth and umami. The marinade gives the tempeh its characteristic savory and slightly salty flavor.

10.8% protein, soy-free

With 10.8 grams of protein per 100 grams, this lentil tempeh is an interesting plant-based protein source. It’s also relatively low in fat and completely soy-free—convenient for those following a plant-based diet who want to avoid soy.

Each package contains 200 grams, enough for about two servings.

Crispy-fried or as a topping

The lentil tempeh has a slightly softer and less firm texture than lupine tempeh. This makes it particularly well-suited for cutting into small pieces or chopping.

Fry it briefly at a high temperature for a delicious crispy crust and sprinkle it over salads, rice dishes, stir-fries, or bowls. It’s also delicious in a bowl with roasted vegetables, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and a spicy dressing.
