The origins of the brand stem from my first gap year, where I touched down in Bali for a surf trip. It was here the food ‘tempeh’ was unearthed- a fermented soybean product native to Indonesia. After my first bite, a romance was born. I have fond memories of eating tempeh from local street food stalls, experiencing a myriad of spices and flavours. For me, the taste of tempeh is nostalgic to travelling- with sense of adventure, discovery and fulfilment. 

As a nutritionist, my passions lie with a whole foods and plant-based way of eating. Only when I gained understanding of tempeh’s nutritional properties and unprocessed nature, I truly appreciated what I had stumbled across. Boasting an impressive profile of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals I knew I had to find a way for more people at home to enjoy the taste, alongside the natural dietary benefits of this exotic hidden gem.
