Explore the craft behind our signature Tempeh Chips.
The Next Superfood
A centuries-old Indonesian superfood, Tempeh is a fermented bean product with a unique history dating back to the 1600s.
In many Javanese villages, there is a fable told to children about the "Tempeh Man," a mythical figure who gained superhuman strength and health by eating tempeh every day. This story is used to encourage children to eat tempeh, highlighting its health benefits and promoting it as a nutritious part of their diet.
At Mamame, we are inspired by this rich history and the remarkable benefits of tempeh. By turning tempeh into a convenient and delicious snack, we honor the tradition and health benefits of this legendary food, while introducing a new generation to its incredible potential.

Black-eyed peas
Black-eyed peas offer a high-protein, fiber-rich, easy-to-digest alternative to soy, with a mild taste and lower environmental impact.
RHIZOPUS OLIGOSPORUS
Rhizopus oligosporus is a beneficial fungus commonly used in the centuries-old fermentation process of making tempeh. It binds the beans together, creating the firm, cake-like texture of tempeh, and contributes to its slightly nutty flavor. This fungus ferments beans, improving protein digestibility, reducing anti-nutrients like phytic acid, and increasing vitamin B12 levels, making tempeh a highly nutritious source of protein and fiber.
TAPIOCA FLOUR
Tapioca flour is a gluten-free, easily digestible ingredient that provides quick energy, making it ideal for those with gluten intolerance or sensitive stomachs.
COCONUT OIL
We use coconut oil for its healthier fats, antioxidants, and heat stability, keeping our chips crispy and free from harmful trans fats and oil oxidation.
