About our tempeh starter
We sell our tempeh starter in packages of 10g and 75g. You can make 25kg of tempeh with 75g tempeh starter!
It has a shelf-life of 1 year and is produced in our own laboratory under sterile conditions, so we can guarantee its quality. Ingredients: rice, soya, rhizopus spores. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, GMO-free and kosher certified.
You will notice that fresh homemade tempeh tastes and smells a lot better than store-bought tempeh. Fresh tempeh made with our starter smells like a mix of mushrooms and apples. Very nice!

Ik gebruik deze tempeh starter al enkele jaren en ben er heel tevreden mee. Een groot voordeel van deze starter is dat de tempeh mooi wit blijft, ook als je een keer vergeet om de tempeh op het juiste tijdstip uit de incubator te halen. Ik gebruik een dehydrator als incubator.

I made some batches of lupin tempeh. In 25 C it was ready in 3 days and in 30 C in 2 days. The tempeh was very white and beautiful without any spores or smell of ammonia.

This starter makes perfect tempeh, firm texture and nice aroma. I have tried tempeh starters from other suppliers and this one is superior. I recommend this product!

The best tempeh starter. I’m a new beginner in tempeh making, this starter made my first experience to a success one 🙌. I’m so happy that I can make my own tempeh.

Arrived quickly, works even with a low dose, nothing to complain about.

I’ve used the starter a few times now and I’m just amazed at how easy it is to prepare tempeh! And that taste…! 🙂 I would never have dared to try it without this tempeh starter, so it’s a fabulous option especially for beginners. Plus, the shipping was super fast every time. Thank you!

I used a couple of other tempeh cultures with unreliable results.
The tempeh starter of topcultures has not failed me a single time in over 30 applications. The tempeh was white, firm and delicious every single time. The price is also great for what you get. Support answered my questions quickly. Perfection!

I have been using this starter for years and it is perfect! Since I understand that the starter keeps well frozen, I do not order more than 75g. Thanks for making the tempeh possible in Europe!
De Bre –
Very good, my second order already. Super fast delivery to Germany, thank you, so on
Linde –
Have been using this starter for over 5 years, with many different types of beans, and it has always produced delicious tempeh! 🙂

I’m new in the home making tempeh. I’ve already done it around 5 times and this starter works very well. I’ve never had any issue with it. My tempeh is beautiful and tasty, thank you for your quality !

I’ve always used this to make chickpea tempeh, and it has not failed me yet. And it’ s been easier and faster to get this than ordering from a US company.
Mike Scherrer –
In 2013 we ordered our first tempeh starter and since then we are regular customers. We were always happy with the fast delivery and the excellent quality of the tempeh. Hope you’ll keep on making tempeh starter for a long time!

This has worked the magic for us. We have been passionately making tempeh at home in the oven with a heat lamp and thermostat AND, most importantly, the right Tempeh Starter from Top Cultures. We decided to give these people a try because they looked the most professional, and when it comes to cultures, we do not want to experiment ‘too’ much. Luckily, they ship to the US as well. We very much recommend their Tempeh Starter. Try it yourself!

Superfast shipping, very happy with the treatment, the price and the product (my tempeh is always perfect) !!!

Thanks and regards!
Chiara –
great product! I make tempeh with soy beans, chickpeas and other beans and it’s always perfect.
Helena B –
Good quality starter and fast delivery!
Tobias –
100 % satisfied. By now, I always order two 75g packs at once, and store the starter in the fridge, and it still works perfectly after 2 years (although I am fairly positive that it would also last and still work if kept outside of a fridge). Easy and convenient ordering process, fast shipping. Definitely a customer for years and years to come.
Gee –
This is a reliable and dependable product. Works well. Highly recommended.
Mai –
Amazing product, works every time. I make chickpea tempeh and it’s delicious, works out as a fraction of the cost of storebought tempeh with very little work. Have purchased again, my first 25g bag lasted me about 4-5 months – you only need 3/4 tsp for 1 kg of soaked beans. Arrives to the UK really quickly too.
Sophie Yang –
Great quality, stable and beautiful result. It works perfect with all kinds of beans, rice, and rice with turmeric. I also tried to produce fresh starter from this starter. The “babies” are quite energetic too, though without a high tech machine, and my own fresh starter can only stay for a much shorter time. Great experience with topcultures.com’s starter!
Ken Fornataro –
We have been making tempeh since the 1970’s. This is the best tempeh starter (Rhizopus oryzae) we have ever used. We use it for all of our online classes and international meetings, see https://Cultures.Group, as well as in person demonstrations. This product makes great tempeh from rice, wheat, squash, mushrooms, and any bean we chose. It’s also an excellent addition as a culture to add to Aspergillus oryzae to make koji. Best doboroku and sake ever!
Niklas Hase –
Good quality, good service!
Gregg McKenzie –
There are sooo many variables that can go wrong making perfect tempeh – topcultures.com’s starter is NOT one of them!
Charles Reinius –
Works very good with different peas and beans.
Siri Guru Mat –
A fantastic product, tempeh turns out fantastic every time. Thanks for making this Erik and ensuring the good and healthy quality of the spores.
