Club Cultured: Finding peace, Veganism, health and tempBAE.

Hello and welcome to STATE OF MIND. I’m Grace Kingswell, I’m a Nutritional Therapist and Lifestyle Medicine Advocate and this is my series all about health, mental wellbeing, state of mind, the environment, creating sustainable practices and finding true connection with yourself, those around you and with nature.

Club Cultured is a tempeh company doing things differently, organically and properly. Di you know that the tempeh you buy in the supermarket is pasteurised? Neither did I! Tempeh is a fermented soy food that is a zillion times better for you than it's overly processed counterpart, tofu. It contains beneficial, natural probiotics and the nutrients are also far more bioavailable (i.e they get absorbed better and faster by our bodies), because of that fact that it’s fermented and sort of “pre digested."

Nutrition waffle aside, the boys at Club Cultured have plans far beyond just making the best tempeh London has to offer. They want to use their business for good, build schools, educate on issues of environmental sustainability, promote a nutritious and low impact vegan lifestyle and continue to innovate within the plant based food space.

They tell us how a chance trip to Australia, and then Bali, led them to discover Veganism, mindfulness and meditation and how they brought what they’d learnt back with them to the home shores to start making and developing “London’s best balls (more on that in the episode), and other wicked tempeh recipes.
