Bangalore’s food scene has always been ahead of the curve — the city that embraced craft coffee, sourdough, and craft beer long before the rest of India is now leading India’s tempeh revolution. And at the heart of it is Tempewala, making fresh tempeh daily from our Bangalore facility.
Why Fresh-Made Tempeh Matters
Most tempeh sold in India is either imported (pasteurised, shelf-stable) or made in large batches and frozen. Both methods kill the live cultures that make tempeh valuable as a probiotic food.
Tempewala makes tempeh daily, in small batches, using traditional fermentation. When your tempeh arrives, the mycelium is still active. The probiotics are alive. The flavour is at its peak. You can taste the difference — fresh tempeh has a clean, nutty, earthy character that pasteurised product simply cannot replicate.
Our Fermentation Process
- Whole soybeans or chickpeas are soaked and partially cooked.
- They are inoculated with Rhizopus oligosporus culture.
- Incubated at precisely controlled temperature and humidity for 24–48 hours.
- White mycelium threads bind the beans into a solid, firm cake.
- Packed immediately and dispatched cold.
No preservatives. No additives. Two ingredients: whole beans and culture.
