Question:

What is the differnece between tofu and tempeh??


Answers:
From the following website:
http://www.vrg.org/journal/vj99mar/99mar...

"Tofu, also known as bean curd and soy cheese, is a mild-tasting product made by curdling soymilk with a coagulant and pressing the curds into a block. Tempeh is a product which is made from fermented soybeans and sometimes grains. The fermentation process binds the beans together and gives them flavor."

Tofu is white, bland, and smooth while tempeh is brown, flavorful (nutty), and chunky.

Basically tofu comes from soymilk coagulated and the product curd is what we eat. Tempeh is made from whole soybeans and some forms are processed with other ingredients like okra and coconut. hope the links helped
