The Better Nature Mediterranean Tempeh block is a new addition to the brand's product portfolio that's crafted with taste, texture and versatility in mind.
The product features the brand's signature tempeh with its firm yet juicy texture, which has been pre-seasoned for versatility. The tempeh boasts 44-grams of protein per pack, while also being a good source of fibre and prebiotics that will make it even more appealing to consumers who are paying more attention to gut health. The tempeh comes in 220-gram packs for £3 that are rolling out to Ocado this month and is perfect for crafting a wide range of recipe this summer.
Co-CEO and Co-Founder Elin Roberts spoke on the Better Nature Mediterranean Tempeh block saying, "Gut-friendly protein is hot right now, fuelled by social media and the shift away from UPFs. With consumers prioritising protein as part of a healthier lifestyle, we’re starting to see a shift away from so-so proteins like chicken (that offer nothing but protein) and towards more nutritious proteins like beans and tempeh, which are also packed with gut-friendly fibre and prebiotics."
