“Usually sporulation occurred when the tempeh had been exposed to air ( e.g. as the result⟳ of uncovering of the pan too frequently ) .”

“Fresh or defrosted tempeh will keep⟳ 3 to 4 days in a refrigerator at 40°F, and at least 6 months or more in a freezer. When putting fresh tempeh into a refrigerator or freezer, don't stack the packages because heat from one package to another will encourage⟳ the culturing process⟳ to continue⟳.”

“The leaves were of use⟳ only to the tempeh factories, which collected them every night.”
