Pune’s cheapest complete protein might be fermented
Between university mess food and gym memberships, Pune eats on a spreadsheet. Run the numbers: our Dehydrated Tempeh Bites pack 59g of complete protein per 100g, need no fridge, and rehydrate into three times their weight of cook-ready tempeh. Cost it per 20g of protein and it undercuts paneer, whey and most protein bars — with fibre thrown in free.

Is COD available in Pune?
Yes, at checkout.
Protein that survives a student budget
Pune’s hostel and PG kitchens usually mean no fridge worth trusting, a single burner, and a tight monthly budget. The shelf-stable range is built for exactly that: kripik tempeh chips to eat as they are, sambal tempeh that makes plain rice a meal, and dehydrated tempeh that keeps for months in a cupboard. It ships ambient from Bangalore, usually three to five days to Pune. Fresh cubes stay Bangalore-only. If you are weighing cost per gram of protein, start with our plant-protein comparison, or open the shop.
