The Hearty Vegan is Texas’ first permitted Tempeh producer. Tempeh is an Indonesian fermented food staple that is traditionally made from soybeans and has a rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture. This meat alternative can be compared to beef in terms of protein percentage, along with it being high in fiber, low in saturated fat and has no cholesterol. The Heart Vegan, established by a vegan mother-daughter team, uses non-GMO soybeans, black-eyed peas, and garbanzo beans that are domestically grown. Gluten-free and soy-free tempeh have also been developed. They’ve even published recipes for their customers to follow like Tempeh shepherd’s pie, Italian Tempeh meatballs, Tempeh Bacon, Tempeh Chili, and so much more! It’s so versatile and tasty, one “cannot resist the tempeh-tation!”
