Busy Times Continue!

Hello everyone,
I will continue to process orders, mailing on Mondays and Thursdays until 27th of October as I participate in Open Studios when I will return to processing every day.
Still no tofu presses. I am awaiting a new shipment and will let you know as soon as it arrives.
Exciting news -the first successful batch on Oncom tempeh has been produced by Sri!I will share his experience soon!
This picture is of the soy milk after the coagulant has been added and the curds have formed, leaving a clear yellowish liquid. I have had a query this week tofu that does not form 'clouds'. No secret, simply stir the coagulant mixture in very gently, put a lid on the pot and let the magic happen. If there are still milky areas, sprinkle on a little more coagulant  mix and leave a little longer. Be gentle with your handling as you ladle them out into the press. Stirring will break the curds into small pieces and cause a lumpy mush, impossible to press.
I am getting a lot of queries about delivery delays. You can track orders on the Aust Post website. Tracking numbers are in your personal confirmation email. Please check junk mail if you haven't seen one as it contains your instructions and free e book. 
I am really pleased to see so many people trying new things in their kitchens. It gives us great control over the quality and availability of food stuffs when we embrace 'make your own.'  Food security is becoming a world wide issue. Affordable plant based proteins offer a sustainable solution, especially when we can store beans and legumes with out refrigeration for long periods of time, and create a variety of easily digestible, high protein, vegan tempehs and tofu. 
There are concerns about protein content in diets that replace meat with legume products. While the protein content of soy tempeh is less than chicken and pork, it is the same as beef but with NO FAT. The advantage of eating tempeh is that the protein is more available to absorption in the gut due to the fermentation process. Lupin tempeh contains protein in higher levels than meat. You may need to supplement your diet with B12 if your protein is totally plant based.
Look after each other and stay well,​
Happy tempeh and tofu making everyone!
Nirala

Tempeh starter: Tempeh was recognised by the government of Indonesia as a national cultural heritage in October 2017 and  will be proposed as a Unesco intangible cultural heritage in 2021. The of making rhizopus oligosporus (tempeh starter) has been a closely guarded cultural secret. Please note: there is no production of rhizopus oligosporus in Australia.
Our tempeh starter is pre mixed with rice flour to ensure even distribution of mycelium growth in your tempeh. 

Tofu Coagulants: Food grade, sourced and packaged in Australia. 

Packaging: We have reduced the amount of paper and plastic used by changing to lined unbleached Kraft paper pouches for starters and coagulants, heat sealed and with best before dates. (Best before dates are a guideline only and can be extended by keeping your starter in the freezer.) We have changed to envelopes made from 100% recycled paper and are constantly working to source more environmentally friendly packaging, baskets and presses.
