Progana Organic Tempeh Soybeans from Western Switzerland (Bio Suisse)

Bulk 5 kg bag of soybeans | Dehulled & split (ideal for tempeh)

Swiss organic tempeh soybeans are the perfect base for making fresh, high-quality tempeh as well as many other plant-based specialties. Since the beans are already dehulled, you save valuable time during preparation and tempeh fermentation.

Use & Application:

• Ideal for tempeh: Thanks to the dehulled grain, the tempeh culture (Rhizopus) can optimally penetrate the beans and ensure even fermentation.
• Versatile in the kitchen: Also excellent for producing soy drink, tofu, soy curd, pastes, or sauces, as well as for dips, salads, and roasted snacks.

Preparation (Basic recipe):

1. Soaking: Soak the dehulled beans in plenty of cold water for about 8–12 hours (or overnight).
2. Cooking: Rinse under running water. Then cook 1 cup of beans with about 3 cups of water over low heat for about 30–45 minutes (dehulled beans cook significantly faster than whole beans).
3. For tempeh: After cooking, drain thoroughly and allow to dry, acidify slightly (e.g., with a little vinegar), and once cooled, inoculate with the tempeh starter culture. Only add salt after cooking if consuming directly.
