2. **Nutritional Source:** Apart from protein, tempeh also contains various important nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals. This makes tempeh a good food for overall health.

4. **Reduces Cholesterol:** Several studies show that consuming tempeh can help reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, so it can help maintain heart health.

6. **Basic Ingredients:** Tempeh is often used as a basic ingredient in various traditional Indonesian dishes, such as bacem tofu, fried tempeh chili sauce, and others. Its distinctive taste and chewy texture make it suitable for various types of dishes.

7. **Alternative to Meat:** Due to its high protein content, tempeh is often used as a meat substitute in vegetarian or vegan dishes. In many cases, tempeh can provide a taste and texture similar to meat.

8. **Source of Vitamin B12:** Although not a major source, tempeh contains small amounts of vitamin B12. This can be especially beneficial for vegetarians and vegans who may have difficulty getting vitamin B12 from plant sources.

Apart from that, tempeh is also a relatively economical food and easy to find in Indonesia. Because of its diversity of benefits, tempeh has become an important part of the diet in many countries, not just Indonesia.
