Vital Wheat Gluten By Anthony's (1.8kg), High In Protein (1.8kg)

Fast delivery, great quality and for the quantity you get I haven’t been able to find a better price. We use this to make our vegan “deli meat” and “chicken” Our 9 year old who is not a vegan prefers this to meat, and gets excited when I’m making a batch! We call it wheat meat in our house 🤣

I was not expecting to enjoy the label as well as the product. There is a description on how they isolate the product and even a little joke which I enjoyed. I wish all labels were as good as this one. You get 4 pounds of vital wheat gluten which they say contains gluten which made me smile. I bake all my own no salt added low carb bread with mostly almond flour and a little wheat gluten improves the texture of the bread. I've used a different brand, but it was rather expensive for the amount you got. The 4 pounds should last a while, but I expect to reorder it when I run out. If you buy it, be sure not to looks at the botton of package :-).

I followed the recipe on the back of the package using store bought Campbells veg stock from a carton. I added a little extra powdered veg stock and a stronger powdered veg stock taste resulted in the loaf. I watched a YouTube video showing to stretch, twist, and tie the loaf in a big knot after dividing the loaf in two. The video and photo show the result. The loaf was dense, similar in texture to dense meatballs. As far as fulfilling in protein, I had no protein cravings after eating this either on its own, in a sandwich, or with rice. A very satisfying protein substitute. I found the taste different, not unpleasant. Unique to itself. The addition of chick peas and whole wheat flour masked the original taste wheat gluten of the Seitan loaf recipe so my opinion could change a little. I had to stop eating meat and fats and this product works well so far. I was still eating the loafs after a few days. They tasted good. I have tried other store bought premade products that were made with pea protein or wheat protein and breaded. They were good too. The seasoning of the breading of the store bought products hid the protein taste well and the protein taste of the store bought was usually mild. Good luck!

Worked well to make seitan ribs.

I love all Anthony’s products. This vital wheat gluten is a high quality product. i just find that the product is becoming quite expensive and have started looking for other alternatives.
