After passing {and stocking} the 3 grain tempeh product for months, I decided to see what that little brick of love had to offer. It’s about 260 calories for half a block (which is an actual and reasonable serving size), something like 16 carbohydrates, and 20 grams of protein.
That is not a typo.
I repeat, 2-0 grams of protein.
This little guy is a fantastic staple and I have a feeling that its only the beginning for us.
Try it out.
Oh!
And it’s only 1.99, so why not, right?
