Lupine Tempeh - Tempeh Deli
What is tempeh.jpg

Tempeh originated in Indonesia, most likely in central or east Java, dating back anywhere from a few centuries to over a thousand years ago. The discovery of tempeh is closely tied to the fungus Rhizopus oligosporus, crucial for its fermentation process. This fungus grows as mycelium on teakwood and sea hibiscus leaves, which were commonly used by native Javanese people for food wrapping. During natural culturing and controlled fermentation, the fungus's mycelium binds soybeans or lupins into a cake, marking the birth of tempeh-making techniques.
