Which is healthier: edamame, tofu, or tempeh?
Tofu vs. Tempeh, 5.0 out of 5 based on 3 ratings
The study didn’t include soybeans, but there was a study this year which answered the question which is healthier, tofu or edemame, the soybeans themselves. You tell me: Who says tofu is healthier??? Who says edemame??? It is indeed the edemame, but all right smartypants’s: what about tempeh versus edemame??? Who says Tempeh? Who edemame? Nope, tempeh is actually better. Tempeh, like edemame is a whole soy food—you can see all the little individual beans in there, but the fermentation process adds extra nutrition. Is more antimutagenic than unfermented beans.
