Key Highlights: * Lightlife announces new innovation: Tempeh Protein Crumbles in two flavors * Fermented tempeh is high in protein and fiber, aiding in digestion and gut health Original Press Release:
Tempeh, a plant-based protein favorite, is now available pre-crumbled, and in two new flavors.
“More and more consumers are seeking nutritionally dense, protein-rich foods that don’t rely on meat mimicry to delight them,” said
Lightlife Tempeh Protein Crumbles will be available in two flavors: Original and Smoked Chipotle. The Original variety is lightly seasoned with a blend of salt, pepper and garlic. The Smoked Chipotle variety is seasoned with a bold blend of roasted peppers, for a heat level that’s just right. Containing 16 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving, Lightlife Tempeh Protein Crumbles are an ideal way to power up meals such as salads, stir-frys, tacos, grain bowls, pasta, and so much more. “Tempeh is a nutritional powerhouse and a complete, plant-based protein source that’s been a staple in Indonesian cooking for centuries,” added Richards. “We’re excited to introduce more consumers to tempeh with our new Tempeh Protein Crumbles, a convenient and familiar form that can be used as a clean, vegan alternative to ground meat in any meal. Our Original and Smoked Chipotle flavors taste great and will elevate any dish and inspire new favorites.” Lightlife Tempeh is made with just four simple ingredients – organic soybeans, water, lactic acid and brown rice – that together serve as an excellent source of complete protein. Tempeh is made with whole soybeans that are naturally fermented for more than 20 hours. Fermentation helps break down nutrients in food, making them easier to digest and great for gut health. Indeed, tempeh, being fermented and extremely high in protein and fiber, is poised for extraordinary relevance and growth, according to Whole Foods’ “Next Big Things” Top Food Trends for 2024. All Lightlife Tempeh products are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project-Verified, Kosher-certified, Vegan-certified, and offer 12-19 grams of protein per serving. In addition to Original and Smoked Chipotle Tempeh Protein Crumbles, other Lightlife Tempeh varieties include Original, Smoky Bacon Strips, Buffalo Strips, Three Grain and Flax. Tempeh is easy to cook with and is most enjoyed when sauteed, baked, air-fried, microwaved, or steamed. Lightlife Tempeh Protein Crumbles will be available in the refrigerated produce section next to tofu at most major grocery and natural food retailers. Lightlife believes that plant-based food should be simple and uncompromising on taste. The brand offers more Vegan-certified and Non-GMO plant-based protein options than top competitors, including burgers, hot dogs, grounds, tempeh, sausages, deli meats and more.
