Tempe: The super vegetarian food - a result of doctoral dissertation work by Charlotte Eklund-Jonsson at the Department of Food Science of Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden - can double the iron uptake speed and can provide a good set of proteins to the human body
Tempe is defined as a whole-grain product with a higher content of foliate made from fermentation of grains such as barley or oat using a micro fungus called Rhizopus oligosporus.
From the press release:
In her work, Charlotte Eklund-Jonsson developed methods to preserve the high fiber content of the cereal grains and at the same time to enhance their content of easily accessible iron. Normally these two considerations work against each other.
Thank you!
