Tempeh’s Many Culinary Uses
By Sharon Palmer, RDN
From tempeh bacon to tempeh bowls, this traditional plant-based protein is basking in newfound appreciation thanks to today’s rising interest in plant-based eating. You can find tempeh in most supermarkets and even some restaurants across the country. Tempeh is a traditional, fermented Indonesian soy and
grain food that comes in a neatly pressed block, perfect for slicing into dishes as a meat replacement. It has a tangy (thanks to fermentation), mild, nutty taste and firm texture. Tempeh is an excellent addition to stir-fries, casseroles, stews, pizza, sandwiches, wraps, and pasta dishes. It’s especially good in a dish that has a vibrant sauce, where it can absorb the flavors of the recipe. You also can marinate and roast or grill tempeh into a delicious entrée all its own, which can then be sliced into sandwiches, salads, bowls, or wraps.
More food companies are creating excellent tempeh products, such as tempeh bacon, seasoned tempeh, and tempeh-based entrées. Made of whole, real plant foods (soy and grains), tempeh is nutrient rich and should be an important part of a well-planned plant-based diet, from a flexitarian diet to a vegan diet. One of the beauties of tempeh is its nutritional profile: One 1/2-cup serving has 160 kcal, 15 g protein, and 9 g total fat, not to mention vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytochemicals, and live, active cultures due to fermentation. In fact, tempeh is “real” enough that you could make it at home. But if one doesn’t want to go to all that trouble, tempeh can be found in most supermarkets in the refrigerated case near tofu.

Study Finds 10% of Nondialysis Kidney Patients Meet With a Dietitian
In patients with chronic kidney disease, MNT can slow the progression and significantly reduce health care costs.
But 90% of nondialysis kidney disease patients never meet with a dietitian, according to a report in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The lead author is Holly Kramer, MD, MPH, of Loyola Medicine and Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
“Most adults with chronic kidney disease remain poorly informed of how diet influences disease management and progression,” Kramer and colleagues wrote.
About 30 million Americans—or 15% of adults—have chronic kidney disease, and the incidence is expected to increase in the next 20 years due to the obesity epidemic and aging population. Nearly one-half of adults aged 65 and older are expected to develop kidney disease during their lifetime. Medicare spends $33 billion per year on dialysis patients, and costs for nondialysis kidney patients are higher than the costs of treating stroke or cancer.

Tips for Healthful Slow Cooking
Jodi Danen, RDN
Slow cooking provides opportunities to save time, improves the odds of a healthful meal being served, and promotes higher vegetable intake in both children and adults.
Creating slow cooker meals is a great way to help novice cooks become more comfortable in the kitchen, and busy parents can benefit from using a slow cooker to easily get healthful homemade meals on the dinner table.
With the use of a slow cooker, clients can quickly prepare a meal the night before (or morning of) and are able to eat as soon as their family returns home. It’s as simple as pushing a button.
