About Vital wheat gluten
Vital wheat gluten is a high-protein flour made by hydrating wheat flour to remove starch, leaving behind the concentrated gluten. Originating from Asian cuisine, it’s a key ingredient in dishes like seitan, a popular plant-based meat alternative. When mixed with water, it forms a stretchy, elastic dough due to its rich gluten content. Nutritionally, vital wheat gluten is packed with protein, low in carbohydrates, and contains minimal fat, making it a valuable option for vegetarian and vegan diets. However, it’s not suitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Versatile and nutrient-dense, it can be used for baking, meat substitutes, and thickening agents in soups or sauces.
