I like to include grain and a legume in each meal, and I've found one easy way to do that by making my own tempeh. I use 1.5 cups grain and 1.5 cups legume and, after measuring, cook them separately then combine and ferment with tempeh starter culture (as described in this post). My most recent batch was soybeans and 3 grains. I use the tempeh in stir-fries, stews, chilis, curries, and soups.

Recipes, news, and discussion about the (Whole Food) Plant Based Diet, or WFPB. A whole-food plant-based, low-fat diet could reverse heart disease and diabetes.
This community is slightly different to our friends at c/vegan. Here our focus is on diet (rather than animal welfare), and our motivations for eating plant based may include environment or health (though we're all for animal welfare too).
A whole food plant based diet includes:
- vegetables (leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, red, green, purple, orange, and yellow)
- legumes (beans, peas, and lentils of all varieties)
- mushrooms
- whole grains and whole grain products, such as bread and pasta
- fruit
- seeds and nuts (except where they have been processed into high fat products, such as with coconut cream or milk).
These are not included in a WFPB diet:
- meat, poultry, eggs or fish
- dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt, et cetera)
- added/refined oils
- juice with the fibre or pulp removed
Importantly...
- Make sure you get the vitamins and nutrients you need, through a variety of foods
- Use a B12 sipplumunt or eat B12 fortified food (B12 is not naturally found in plants)
- Talk to your doctor or nutritionist before making decisions that will affect your health.
