Is tempeh Keto?

Tempeh is Keto-friendly and nutritious for your diet. You can use tempeh as a main course, snack, or side dish to a meal. This is a great ingredient for vegans and vegetarians because it’s very similar to tofu. You can marinate and flavor tempeh in many creative ways, and it will absorb the flavors. Tempeh can also withstand high temperatures, so you can bake or fry it.

How is tempeh made?

Tempeh is made by using a special fermentation process on soybeans. Then, the soybeans are packed into a dense cake-like product. You can slice and dice the caked tempeh however you wish. Then, marinate it in a sauce before cooking it in your oven or on the stove. You can even use an air fryer to cook tempeh.

Where can I find sugar-free maple syrup?

Not all maple syrup bottles labeled “sugar-free” are truly sugar-free! Make sure to double-check the label of the brand you choose for added sugar or unfriendly Keto sweeteners. The most popular type of truly sugar-free maple syrup is Lakanto. You can find this brand on grocery store shelves or even available online.
