Top 21 Most Annoying Hollywood Food Trends
16. Tempeh
Tempeh was first introduced through Asian cuisine and pretty soon it became a trendy food for vegetarians and vegans but also for the meat lovers who like to follow health food trends. Just like tofu, tempeh comes from soybeans. The main difference between the two is that tempeh is made from fermented beans, which makes it healthier than tofu, because fermentation is one of the best and the healthiest ways of preparing food.
The soybeans are fermented and poured into molds which give tempeh its shape. Most people use the store-bought tempeh, which can range from moderate to high quality. Some brands put different spices and flavors to tempeh to keep it interesting.
The best thing about tempeh is that it is a very good source of protein, which is why it is popular among vegans and vegetarians. However, it is also quite trendy among those who did not say “no” to meat but occasionally look for healthier sources of protein.
