Lightlife Original Organic Tempeh, 8 Oz

First of all, the black spots are a good thing. It says so on the package but I missed it the first time I ordered it and threw it away. Actually, the black spots are an indication that it has reached its ideal maturity and I prefer it that way now. This has a nutty texture and very mild flavor, so you can season it however you like and add it to anything. I did not like it at first because I'm not a naturally good cook, but with experimentation I actually crave it now. Here are two of my favorite ways to prepare it. Dice the tempeh first and then.... ....Coat or marinade with coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you prefer) then pan-fry - adding in a bit of boiling water to melt the miso and peanut butter that you add next. - saute to your desired consistency. (Gives it a chicken satay type of favor that's extra yummy as the "meat" for lettuce wraps.) -----Saute in garlic &/or chili oil, then add a bit of spaghetti sauce, and add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast near the end for a parmesan-esk flavor. (Sometimes I throw in white wine &/or mushrooms in too and then add to pasta.) Either way, I'm happy with the quality, consistency & price of this product and hope you enjoy it too.

I was apprehensive to try this because it looked kind of weird, but I was looking for cruelty free protein sources. I was pleasantly surprised. I actually love the texture. I cut it into little strips, fried in a little oil on both sides till crispy and then crumbled it up and added it to salad. Super good! I also recommend the bacon one, especially for salad. One of these Tempeh flavors, I can't remember which, had a little bit of black on the outside "skin". I worried that it was spoiled, but was far from the expiration date. So I looked it up and apparently that's normal due to fermentation. So good to know. I'm so happy with all the delicious cruelty-free protein sources available now! I know sometimes people have a hard time transitioning. I did a bit, but then I started loving these products for what they were and stopped comparing them to animal products. So many great options and I feel so much better after eating them. Satisfied, but no more sluggishness after eating.

Freeze it, steam it (about 20 min) cut however you want it, marinate it after you get as much water out of it. Look on google!!!! for prep and recipes high in protein. Enjoy.

Tasty and good protein!! Easy to make as well for a quick dinner!

It's still Tempeh. Satisfying as far as protein goes. It's okay if you chop it up really small and put it in a salad. If you're a tempeh person, then you'll probably like it. I personally don't like tempeh texture and prefer firm, marinated tofu. I have tried several tempeh products, and have yet to find one I really like.
