Tempeh is a fermented soybean product originally obtained through soybean fermentation with the Rhizopus species. Tempeh is gaining popularity in Asia and the rest of the world because it is an economical, nutritious, healthy, and easy-to-prepare food. This chapter will summarize the evidence that shows tempeh as an attractive fermented food related to the prevention of various chronic diseases. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
