Tempe includes healthy food (Freepic)

JAKARTA - Consumption of plant-based proteins such as tempeh can provide good health benefits. Even experts say, tempeh can be a healthy food that can maintain heart health.

"Containing fat is not saturated, both for heart health, and economic values that are relatively easy for all people to obtain," Fitri said as quoted by Antara.

In addition to being good for the heart, tempeh also has good energy and protein sources so that it can meet daily energy needs, and contains the vitamins and minerals needed by the body.

"Tempe also provides a good source of fiber so that it can help in nourishing the digestive tract," added Fitri.

To get tempe benefits as a source of plant products that have healthy fat, the way to cook tempeh must be considered so as not to eliminate the benefits.

Tempeh can be processed by using tumis, boiled or steamed so that the value of the fat is maintained and remains healthy and consumed so that it can benefit from good fat from tempeh.

On the other hand, if tempeh is consumed by frying, it will increase the fat content and cause various disease problems.

"Tree processing should not be used as processed with high fat, for example fried dry so that it will increase the fat content," he said.

Fitri said tempeh is also easy to obtain so that it allows people to easily consume tempeh as a source of healthy plant protein.

The popularity of tempe is not only present in Indonesia but has also been mentioned several times in international events or recently appeared in the Japanese anime "Shokugeki No Souma" or Food War.

In the anime, the character Isshiki Senpai said that tempeh is a soybean fermented food from Indonesia which is a traditional food that has existed since 400 years ago.
