Atikoh Ganjar met tempe traders when he was blusukan at Pasar Baru, Probolinggo today, Friday, January 26 (Ist)

ProBOLINGGO - The wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh, said that tempeh is one of the superfoods because it has complete protein. So, he hopes that soybeans that are made as material can be sufficient without the need for imports.

This was conveyed by Atikoh when blusukan at Pasar Baru, Probolinggo today, Friday, January 26. After buying tempeh, he said the soybean processing was high in protein and could be digested by anyone.

"Tempe is actually super food because the processed products are fermented and the protein is good. The protein composition is among the most complete and it can be digested by anyone," said Atikoh on the sidelines of his blusukan.

Atikoh said that there are many tempeh home industries in the country. However, most of them complain about soybeans that become raw materials because they have to be imported.

So, from the results of the discussion, many tempe and tofu craftsmen hope for the sustainability of soybean availability so that their business runs smoothly. "Yes, right, there are a lot of tofu MSMEs in Indonesia," he said.

"Only their problems are imported in terms of raw soybean materials. That's why I hope that there will be discussions with tofu and tempe craftsmen, hopefully there will be sustainability in the availability of soybeans," he continued.

It didn't stop there, after the blusukan Atikoh added that there was hope that Indonesia could have food sovereignty in the future, especially soybeans. Moreover, tempeh and tofu are foods that are popular with the community.

"Every day people in Indonesia eat tempeh, yes, and this has been scientifically proven, academically, the superfood in which the protein is very high, complete, amino acid is complete, so don't let the availability of weak raw materials be claimed to be their products," he said.

Meanwhile, Atikoh was warmly welcomed by residents who were shopping and trading in Pasar Baru, Probolinggo. They are scrambling to take pictures with Ganjar's wife.

Not infrequently, traders call Atikoh to shop at their kiosks. When shopping, he several times talked about the prices of commodities sold by traders in the market.
