Description
Wheat gluten, also known as seitan when cooked, is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat. It is produced by washing wheat flour dough with water until all the starch granules have been removed, leaving a sticky mass of protein, which is then cooked.
This process results in a chewy, meat-like texture, making wheat gluten a popular meat substitute, especially in vegetarian and vegan diets. Wheat gluten is high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrates, offering a nutritious alternative to animal protein sources. It’s versatile in culinary applications and can be flavoured in numerous ways to mimic the taste and texture of various types of meat, from chicken and beef to pork and seafood.
