At Better Nature, we want everyone to be and to feel well. We do so by making nourishing food accessible to all, using one of the most naturally nutritious foods in the world: tempeh.
Tempeh is an Indonesian miracle food made from nothing but cultured soybeans and water. A highly nutritious plant-based food so good you’ll be baking it, frying it or stirring it into all your favourite dishes.
Guided by our Indonesian roots and tempeh know-how, we’ve become experts at making simple things extraordinarily better… naturally. From our Organic Tempeh to our Smoky Tempeh Rashers to our BBQ Tempeh Strips, we use only simple and recognisable ingredients. And it is all high in protein, fibre and Omega-3, and contributes to one of your five a day.
Truly extraordinary food has to do good by the planet too. That's why our tempeh has earned a Foodsteps top A-rating for its low carbon footprint. And we remove from the environment twice as much carbon and plastic as we use to make our tempeh, making it Carbon and Plastic Negative. We want to give back to nature just as much as it's giving to us.
