Modern non-traditional tempeh (faba bean, lupin, oats)
Outside Indonesia, researchers grow tempeh mould on local pulses instead of soybeans, such as faba beans and oats in Sweden or lupin (tarwi) in Peru. The beans are soaked, boiled briefly, cooled, mixed with Rhizopus spores and packed into pierced bags at 30 °C. Bitter lupins must first be soaked for days to reduce their toxic alkaloids.

At a glance
Outside Indonesia, researchers grow tempeh mould on local pulses instead of soybeans, such as faba beans and oats in Sweden or lupin (tarwi) in Peru. The beans are soaked, boiled briefly, cooled, mixed with Rhizopus spores and packed into pierced bags at 30 °C. Bitter lupins must first be soaked for days to reduce their toxic alkaloids. Made in 5 steps over 8.2 days. The longest step, debitter lupins (lupin only), takes 6.1 days (Alarcón R. et al. 2026). Rhizopus microsporus and Rhizopus oligosporus do most of the fermenting.
Unlike Indonesian tempeh, these are made from pulses that grow in cooler climates, often in labs with pure spore cultures, perforated bags or foil and controlled incubators. Lupins need a long debittering soak first.
Faba bean and oat tempeh (Sweden)8 % or 15 % whole-grain oats mixed with faba beans; a soak with L. plantarum improved the flavour.
Tarwi and quinoa tempeh (Peru)Andean lupin and red quinoa, each fermented with R. oligosporus at 30 °C.
Faba bean tempeh from split beans (Australia)Autoclaved split or crushed faba beans soaked to about 50 % moisture, inoculated with R. oryzae starter (culture to substrate 1:200) and incubated at 25 °C for up to 48 h in a laboratory study [luo2026].
Safety
Bitter lupins are debittered before use to reduce their toxic alkaloids; one study soaked them for 5 days with frequent water changes (Alarcón 2026) and reports no alkaloid level for the tempeh. In a separate test, debittering left all eight lupin samples above the 200 mg/kg limit Australia and New Zealand set for lupin flour (Peloso 2026), so this is not a tested home method for bitter lupin. Faba beans contain L-DOPA, and also vicine and convicine, which can cause favism, an acute haemolytic anaemia, in people with G6PD deficiency (Khazaei 2019). Anyone with that deficiency should not eat ordinary faba bean tempeh.
Hazards the sources name: Quinolizidine alkaloids in lupin (plant toxins, not microbes); Vicine and convicine in faba beans, which can cause favism in people with G6PD deficiency (plant compounds, not microbes).
Research on faba bean and oat tempeh in Sweden gives the reason for the shift. Soybean is seen as less sustainable in Northern Europe because of its reliance on imports and consumer links to deforestation, GMOs and allergens (Fernandez Castaneda 2025).
