Wholefood EarthSerious Grains - Vital Wheat Gluten Flour - 3kg

Some people use vital wheat gluten for baking -- tossing just a dash in with their normal flour and letting it work its magic. This is not that kind of review. This is about using vital wheat gluten as a low fat, low carb, high protein muscle builder that is so versatile, you'll wonder what it CAN'T do (a lot... it can't do a lot... like, don't try and build a life-raft out of it).If you're plant-based, going plant-based, or curious about being plant-based, this is a great place to start. As long as you're medically okay with gluten, this is a great option.What is it?It's wheat that's been stripped of its carbs, leaving primarily protein behind. Yup, you read that right. And since there are no fast-acting carbs, the glycemic index is suuuuuuper low. So you won't get a spike in blood sugar from downing whatever 'meaty' goodies you create with this yummy stuff.Which brings us to taste. Is it in fact, as mentioned above, yummy?No. Well, at least not on its own. It's not bad, it simply has no flavour. But kick in some herbs and spices, maybe a dash of hot sauce or some fennel, and you've got yourself something absolutely delicious. And a gazillion times healthier than its meat alternative.But what kind of faux meats can you make with it?ALL. OF. THEM.... Except fish. I think. Maybe though. I don't know. The point is, whether you boil, broil, bake, fry, or steam this substance, there are several meats you can replicate. From sausages, brats, and steaks, to fried chicken and pork chops. It's all about the preparation. Open that cupboard and toss in anything that looks tasty. There are also dozens, if not hundreds, of websites online with very easy-to-follow recipes for cooking vital wheat gluten into seitan.So why this stuff?At the time of purchasing, it was the best deal. That's the honest truth. VWG is VWG. So save yourself some money and go with this one.Happy eating!

I use this to make Seitan. It’s an art but you need this to start with. This one is particularly good for Seitan and absorbs added flavourings really well. As a chef, consistency is vital and this profuct gives me that.

When I first heard about seitan as a protein meat alternative I tried the 'mock duck' that H&B sell. I thought it was ok, but a bit pricy, and I also thought it would be one of those things that would be a real faff to make yourself - THAT couldn't be further from the facts - this stuff is incredibly easy to make - and is VERY reasonably priced - what more could you want????

Good product, good price, quick delivery, it deserves 5 stars but people often think a 5 star review might be fake.

I run a page called seitans little helpers, so I make a lot of seitan to show my group, this is very good for price, taste and quality. Ordered a couple of times, will continue to buy fronthis seller!! Makes lovely seitan... thank you.

Spent a few months on low carb lifestyle, but very much missed having bread. This product has been great, having bread back in my life is a game changer, and is certainly giving me the opportunity to stick with my new lifestyle! Very happy 😁

It's really very good quality wheat gluten. I trust this brand, having bought other products of theirs, and this doesn't disappoint either. It's well packaged in a neat brown paper bag. Definitely a brand I will look out for in future, and I have a second order arriving this month.
