Tempeh crisps have been introduced in the UK by Mamame Foods, marking a significant addition to the healthy snack market.
These crisps are crafted from fermented black-eyed beans, providing a soy-free alternative ideal for individuals with soy allergies. They boast 30% more protein than traditional potato crisps and are free from gluten and seed oils, making them suitable for a variety of dietary needs.
The launch of tempeh crisps coincides with a growing demand for healthier snacking options.
Consumers are increasingly aware of the adverse health effects linked to saturated fats, seed oils, and ultra-processed foods.
The UK snack market has experienced various innovations, including products made from peas, seaweed, bananas, and mushrooms. Tempeh crisps, with their distinct nutritional benefits, are well-positioned to attract health-conscious consumers.
Tempeh, a traditional Indonesian food, is renowned for its health benefits and is now being adapted into a modern snack for the UK market.
Mamame Foods has been instrumental in introducing this product, which aligns with contemporary dietary preferences and the rising demand for vegan and health-conscious snacks. The initial reception of tempeh crisps has been positive, indicating potential for growth in the vegan snack industry.

Just read about these tempeh crisps – anyone know if they’re actually tasty? Most health snacks I’ve tried are a bit bland. Keen to give these a go if they’ve got a good flavour!
30% more protein sounds good on paper but reckon it’s just another marketing gimmick. bet they cost an arm and a leg too, typical health food markup.
Not sure about the price but protein’s protein, mate. Beats eating junk. I’d say worth a shot if it helps keep the snacking healthy.
Absolutely thrilled to see more soy-free options hitting the shelves! It’s challenging to find snacks that fit into my dietary restrictions. Mamame Foods tempeh crisps have definitely piqued my interest – can’t wait to try them and perhaps even review them on my blog.
Gluten-free, soy-free, and probably taste-free, am I right? Hope they prove me wrong though. If they can make a snack that’s healthy and doesn’t taste like cardboard, I’m all for it. Who knows, might even replace my crisps stash at work.
