About Wheat Gluten
A wheat-protein product, very high in protein and very low in carbs.
Health Benefits of Wheat Gluten
High-protein, ultra-low-carb vegetarian food
100g of wet wheat gluten has about 22.3g protein, just 3.5g carbs and 0.2g fat - an excellent protein source for vegetarians and low-carb dieters. Made from wheat gluten (seitan), its texture resembles meat and it is highly adaptable in cooking.
Low calorie with good satiety
At 100g only 106 kcal, yet high protein and chewiness give strong satiety - useful as a protein source in calorie-controlled meals.
Versatile vegetarian base
Slice it for stir-fry, tear it for cold dishes or braise in chunks; its porous texture soaks up sauces. Quick-fry with mushrooms, wood-ear fungus and green pepper for a fast, balanced home dish.
