TEMPEWALA
0
Dehydrated Tempeh Chilli Flakes is chickpeas (split chana dal), red chilli flakes, and Rhizopus Oligosporus starter culture — the chilli genuinely co-ferments alongside the chickpeas through the full 72-hour fermentation, it isn’t added afterward. The result is low-temperature dehydrated to keep the live culture dormant but intact. No salt, no coating, no preservatives, and completely soy-free.
Roughly 27g of protein per 100g and about 12.6mg of sodium, with a clean chilli heat layered over the tempeh’s natural umami from the free glutamate the Rhizopus culture releases during fermentation.
Eat it straight from the pack for the live cultures intact, or rehydrate in warm water for 5–10 minutes. Once rehydrated, it’s actively fermenting again — cook, freeze, or eat it right away. To keep the probiotic benefit, avoid boiling; add it after cooking or eat it cold. Processed in a facility that also processes peanuts and soy.
What’s actually inside
Soy-free. Processed in a facility that also processes peanuts and soy. No preservatives · No additives
Why this is different
Chilli flakes fermented right into the cake — not dusted on afterwards — then dried at low temperature so the culture survives the pack. Soy-free. Rehydrates about 3.5×.
How it’s made
Split chana dal, soaked and cooked whole — never flour.
Rhizopus oligosporus binds them into a solid cake.
Dehydrated gently so the culture stays alive.
1,000 years of Indonesian fermentation. Made in Bangalore since 2017.
