Every January, more and more people take the "Veganuary" challenge, diving into a month of plant-based eating, discovering new flavors, and making food choices that nourish both body and planet. But if you’ve tried to go plant-based before, you’ve probably noticed something: not all vegan proteins are created equal.

Many “plant-based” products on shelves today are highly processed, with long ingredient lists and additives that leave you feeling full for an hour — then tired, hungry or bloated later.

That’s where Noble Bean Tempeh comes in. As a minimally processed, whole food made in Montreal from Canadian-grown, non-GMO soybeans, Noble Bean Tempeh is proof that simple ingredients can do extraordinary things.

The whole food difference

Unlike some modern meat substitutes or protein powders, tempeh is made from whole soybeans, not isolates or concentrates, providing you with the full benefit of the bean: protein, fiber and nutrients your body knows how to use.

Each serving of delivers:

• Over 20 grams of complete plant protein
• 8 grams of dietary fiber to keep you satisfied longer
• Iron, calcium and B vitamins that are naturally present in soybeans

That’s balanced nutrition your body recognizes — without the additives, gums or fillers.

Why protein + fiber is the ultimate combo

Protein builds. Fiber balances. Together, they help regulate energy, stabilize digestion and support overall wellness — especially when you’re transitioning to more plant-based meals.

Many people underestimate how filling tempeh can be. Because it’s made from whole soybeans, it digests slowly and keeps you energized without the mid-afternoon crash or  endless snacking. Tempeh makes the perfect base for Veganuary recipes — from warm stir-fries and power bowls to wraps, sandwiches and curries.

Sustainable and proudly Non-GMO Project Verified

Noble Bean has been crafting tempeh in Montréal for over 40 years using organic, non-GMO soybeans grown by Canadian farmers. Their approach is simple: stay close to the source. Real ingredients, locally made, supporting both Canadian agriculture and planet-friendly food systems.

“Our mission is simple: to make the world better, one meal at a time.
It may sound ambitious, but it comes naturally when you love what you do.”
Mike & Liam Makhan, Owners of Noble Bean

Choosing whole-food proteins like tempeh isn’t just good for you. It’s good for everyone.
