Satay Tempeh Skewers
By: Ben McKeown
I love my tempeh and I don't mind an easy quick dish that tastes great and is great for me. In particular, tempeh is a great source of protein, providing a whopping 15 grams in each 90 gram serving. It’s also an excellent source of micronutrients such as manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and riboflavin. Plus, it contains calcium and iron, both of which are essential nutrients that can be hard to obtain on a vegetarian or vegan diet.
