Tofu Presses arrive

Stormy weather, with amazing interludes of wonder

Hello everyone,
Wild weather has returned, but there are some brief moments of sunshine.

Big news this week is those of you that ordered tofu kits recently will have noticed that the two baskets have been replaced with a tofu press. . Much as I hate buying plastic, this is an item that will last a long time and can be recycled into other plastic items. While I continue to search for a reasonably priced wooden version, these seem to be a good substitute.
They are available as part of a kit or alone.

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.
