Not the worst

It’s not the worst but it’s not the best either. It has a bit of a sour/tart taste/smell. This can work well with some flavors but not with others. I thought it paired well with Asian sauces but when I tried to do a peanut sauce this was way too sour with it. Overall I think that I prefer other meatless options over this but if your in a pinch it’s easy.

I had a coupon so i thought I would try it and i haven't decided if I like it or not, it's different. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be a substitute for so I can't comapare it to anything. It's a little bland so you have to add your own seasoning and you have to cook it like the directions say or it will come out very dry. The reason I do recommend this is because I'm undecided

So good. It’s really great in Asian-style recipes, when you get it crispy with some sauce.

The flavor is incredible and love the deep “nutty” smell while frying! Delicious with a bit of seasoning. My favorite thing about this product is the simple, clean ingredients.

This tempeh is amazing! I love switching up my routine and swapping tofu for this. It offers such a great texture and is delicious either mildly seasoned or marinated.

De-lish! Tempeh is my family’s favorite plant-based protein because it is so versatile and naturally gluten free. We love using this to make stir frys, TLTs (tempeh, lettuce, tomtatos and topping our salads.

After hearing about the great benefits of tempeh, especially the probiotics and high protein, we decided to give it a shot. We picked this brand up and prepared it the same day. I love that the packaging is so helpful and informative for new consumers: It explains that mottling is a normal reaction and gives simple preparation instructions if you don't have the slightest idea where to start. The smell is earthy and pleasant and it worked perfectly for our recipe.
