Tempeh is a fermented foods include soybeans with the fungus Rhizopus oligosporus. A piece of tempeh contains many useful elements, such as carbohydrates, fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, enzymes, daidzein, genisten, as well as antibacterial components beneficial for health. It tastes delicious, it's cheap and easy to obtain.
Benefits Tempe excellent benefits to be given to all age groups (from infants to the elderly) therefore tempeh is food for all ages. Tempe is often found in the home or in the stalls, as a side dish and a complementary dish turned out tempeh contains and digestibility values better than soy.
In tempeh increased nutritional value of approximately 2-fold after fermented soybeans into soybean, such as vitamin B2, vitamin B12, niacin, and pantorenat acid. Even the results of the analysis, the nutritional content of niacin tempeh show at 1:13 mg / 100 grams tempeh can eat. Because niacin content in soybean is only about 0.58 mg, tempeh, can be consumed in three main forms.
If we eat tempeh every day, it can meet 62% of protein needed by the body, 35% of riboflavin, 34% magnesium, manganese 108%, and 46% copper. In addition, tempeh contains only 3.7 grams of saturated fat and less than 329 kilo calories.
The content of the nutritional value of soybean much better than regular soy. The content of free amino acids 24-fold higher. Value of fiber, vitamin B complex, the efficiency of the protein, and the value of free fatty acids are also better. That is what causes Tempe acts as a perfect source of protein for people with diabetes. High content of fiber serves to control blood sugar levels and prevent diarrhea in young children.
His or her iron levels are high, which is 4 mg / 100 g, causing tempeh can overcome the problem of anemia. The fermentation process in the manufacture of tempeh will activate the enzyme Phytase in order to increase the adsorption of iron in the blood.
Tempe Benefits for the Body
Benefits Tempe Can Prevent Anemia & Osteoporosis
Benefits Tempe also believed to prevent anemia and osteoporosis, two diseases that stout woman suffered, because the nature of women who have experienced menstruation, pregnancy and breast-feeding a baby. This anemia can affect women who are lazy to eat, for fear of fat, so the supply and production of red blood cells in the body decreases.

Benefits Tempe Can Prevent Aging & Breast Cancer
In the Tempe antioxidant also found a substance in the form of isofalvon. Like vitamins C, E and carotenoids, isoflavones are antioxidants that are needed by the body to stop the reaction of free radical formation. In soybeans there are three types of isoflavones, namely daidzein, glisitein, and genistein. In Tempe, in addition to the three types of isoflavones are also contained an antioxidant factor II (6,7,4 trihydroxy isoflavone), which has the most powerful antioxidant properties than the isoflavones in soy.
These antioxidants are synthesized during the fermentation process of soybeans into soybean by bacteria Micro coccus leteus and Coreyne bacterium. Research conducted at the University of North Carolina, United States, found that genestein and phytoestrogens found in tempeh was able to prevent breast and prostate cancer aging (aging).
Therefore, the best way to optimize the efficacy of tempeh for our body is to eat them every day in significant numbers. In order not to experience boredom, variations tempeh use in a variety of recipes need to be done.

c. Desmutase containing superoxide free radicals that can control, good for heart patients.
d. Prevention of anemia. Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin levels due to lack of available iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), protein, folic acid and vitamin B12, in which the elements are contained in Tempe.
e. Anti-infection. The survey shows that tempeh contains antibacterial compounds produced by corals tempeh (R. oligosporus) is an antibiotic that is useful to minimize the incidence of infection.
f. Hipokolesterol power. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in soybean are able to lower cholesterol levels.
g. Have anti-oxidant properties, reject cancer.
h. Preventing multiple nutritional problems (due to deficiency and excess nutrients) and accompanying diseases, both infectious and degenerative.
