Tempeh has been eaten in Indonesia for centuries — not as a specialty, but as everyday protein.
It’s affordable.
It’s filling.
It shows up across income levels, regions, and meals.
That’s why tempeh became one of the most democratic and accessible protein sources in Indonesia:
• Made from simple legumes
• Fermented to improve digestibility
• Priced so people can eat it often, not occasionally
In many households, tempeh provides a significant share of daily protein — without requiring refrigeration at purchase, expensive processing, or status.
Somewhere between tradition and modern food systems, protein became exclusive.
Prices went up.
Portions went down.
Good food became something you wait for discounts to afford.
We don’t believe that’s how food should work.
At Tempeh Goodness, we believe protein should be:
• Reliable
• Affordable
• Built for everyday meals
Tempeh delivers:
• High-quality plant protein
• Fibre most proteins lack
• Fermentation that supports gut health
All in one food.
Not a supplement.
Not a trend.
In Indonesia, tempeh earned trust by being useful.
In Canada, we’re working to restore that same role.
Not by turning tempeh into a premium product —
but by keeping it accessible, honest, and easy to choose.
Democracy in food isn’t about variety on shelves.
It’s about what people can afford to eat — week after week.
Tempeh has done this before.
We’re here to do it again.
