The protein question every yoga teacher gets asked
Rishikesh hosts thousands of international practitioners who eat tempeh at home and cannot find it here. Now it ships: TempeWala couriers shelf-stable tempeh from India’s first dedicated tempeh facility to Rishikesh and Dehradun, usually arriving 3–5 days after dispatch — no cold chain, ashram-kitchen friendly.

Plant-based, simply made

FAQs
Is tempeh sattvic?
It is a fermented food, so traditions differ — many modern yogic kitchens embrace it for its digestibility and simplicity. Ingredient lists are fully transparent.
Do you ship to ashrams?
Any courier-serviceable address, yes.
Simple food for a Rishikesh kitchen
Rishikesh eats lighter and mostly vegetarian, and tempeh fits that without being a processed substitute — it is whole beans held together by culture, nothing more. Cafés, long-stay guests and home kitchens all get the ambient range from Bangalore: kripik tempeh chips, sambal tempeh and dehydrated tempeh, none of which need refrigeration on the way up. Delivery usually takes three to five days after dispatch. Fresh cubes remain Bangalore-only. To understand what the fermentation is doing, read tempeh and gut health or see the shop.
