Oh wow, I have seen tempe available everywhere so I didn't even think of the possibility of not having it! The horror! See, I am getting mine from a local guy who grows his soy without any pesticides, he does it all organically from non GMO seeds to start out with and he hand makes it all. It's out of this world great quality! I can't have seitan because of the wheat. I was really battling soy for a while but I love that I have found a good source, otherwise I would avoid it too!
