About Tempura vegetable

Tempura vegetables are a Japanese dish consisting of assorted vegetables coated in a light batter made from flour, water, and egg, then deep-fried until crisp. Originating in the 16th century under Portuguese influence, tempura has become a hallmark of Japanese cuisine. While the specific nutrient content varies depending on the vegetables used, common choices like sweet potatoes, carrots, and zucchini are rich in vitamins A and C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. However, the frying process adds fat and calories, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The inclusion of a variety of vegetables can contribute essential micronutrients to the dish.

Health Benefits

• Rich in dietary fiber from vegetables like zucchini and sweet potatoes, which supports digestive health.
• Provides vitamin A and beta-carotene from sweet potatoes, beneficial for vision and immune function.
• Offers antioxidants such as vitamin C from vegetables like bell peppers, which help combat oxidative stress.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from flour), egg

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets (if no seafood is used), non-vegan diets
