#Cellcare ingredient health benefits
TEMPEH | PLANT-BASED PROTEIN FOR GUT HEALTH
Tempeh is a fermented soy product rich in probiotics, plant-based protein, and essential amino acids. Its fermentation process makes it easier to digest than other soy foods and supports a healthy gut microbiome. Tempeh is also high in manganese, magnesium, and B vitamins, promoting energy production and muscle recovery.
BROCCOLI | DETOXIFYING & CANCER-PROTECTIVE
Broccoli is a cruciferous superfood loaded with sulforaphane — a powerful compound known for its detoxifying and cancer-fighting properties. It supports liver health, hormone balance, and cellular repair, while its high fiber content promotes digestive wellness.
GINGER | DIGESTIVE & ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ROOT
Ginger helps soothe the digestive tract, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. It’s also known for its ability to balance blood sugar levels and enhance nutrient absorption — making it a perfect companion for longevity-focused meals.
SESAME SEEDS | RICH IN CALCIUM & HEALTHY FATS
Sesame seeds are a nutrient-dense source of calcium, magnesium, and zinc, supporting bone health and metabolic balance. Their healthy fats and antioxidants, like sesamin, promote cardiovascular health and help combat oxidative stress.
WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 block (8 oz) organic tempeh, cubed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-sodium tamari)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) mixed with 2 tbsp water
1 tablespoon avocado oil (for sautéing)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1–2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Tempeh | Steam the cubed tempeh for 5 minutes to remove any bitterness and soften the texture. Set aside.
Make the Teriyaki Sauce | In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and the arrowroot slurry. Set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics | Heat avocado oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the Tempeh | Add steamed tempeh cubes to the pan and cook until lightly golden on all sides, about 4–5 minutes.
Stir-Fry the Veggies | Add broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, until veggies are tender-crisp and vibrant.
Glaze and Toss | Pour the teriyaki sauce over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is glazed.
Serve | Spoon over warm brown rice or quinoa. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a finishing touch.
Optional Garnishes:
Toasted sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
Chili flakes for a spicy kick
Fresh lime wedge for brightness
