Tempehstarterstore

As I'm a lover of Tempeh but don't want to shell out big bucks at my local grocery store, I began looking for a reasonably priced starter culture. I know there is Culture of Health and similar sites but they're expensive too if you consume tempeh regularly. So, I tried to find a seller that offers original ragi tempeh culture from Indonesia. Fortunately, there are a few and they sell the culture very inexpensive. I decided to try my luck on Tempehstarterstore.com. The website is very simply designed, has contact information and a blog entry on how to make tempeh. On the other hand, the pages load instantly. So, I ordered 500gm (slightly over a pound) of tempeh starter culture. Fast forward almost 3 weeks, my culture arrived finally. It was tightly wrapped and the culture was double bagged. What I like is that the seller includes a "phytosanitary certificate" by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. I am not an expert but it looks legit and makes me feel confident the starter culture is safe to use. I compared it to certificates posted online and it looks real. I included a photo of the certificate in my review. Alright, the starter culture works and produces wonderfully tasty tempeh, no matter what bean I throw at it :) I thought to give the store 4 stars because of the slow shipping but the starter culture works so well, I changed my mind and gave 5 stars. It's really worth the wait. The quality is excellent and the price is very low, so I can't complain about the shipping. Just keep in mind it takes up to 3 weeks for the culture to arrive.
