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

I have been using Anthony's Vital Wheat Gluten for a couple of months now and it meets all expectations. I love the large 4 lb size, it cooks up great and is always fresh, and the ingredients leave a neutral taste. I highly recommend this vital wheat gluten.

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!

Love this brand of vital wheat gluten for my fresh milled flour bread - works so well.

I like Anthony's products, never have any issues with this brand. I have purchased this vital wheat gluten a couple of times now. I don't go through a lot, but I do keep some in my baking cupboard for the occasional loaf of bread. My main use for it though is when I make Seitan. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I like to eat, and I enjoy trying out a variety of recipes from all sorts of diets, cuisines, etc. I find that my stomach often growls the most when I am perusing plant-based recipes (take note that plant-based means only that-- that the focus in on plants, but does not necessarily omit other food sources). I like the creativity that people come up with in using foods. Mmm I love to eat. When it comes to seitan, it just looks so good, and costs so much less than the equivalent in a piece of meat. I have made lovely gravies to go over seitan "steaks", have made strips to use in "beef" stroganoff, and so on. Taste and texture is amusingly impressive. I am not at all pushing any sort of diet or way of eating, but if you are a curious eater, give it a try. If you are planning for the future and trying to figure out ways to stretch your meat budget (either adding in seitan to pieced of meat, or fully skipping a meat-based meal) then this is a wonderful option. Stretch that budget, get creative!! I use regular feef or chicken stock or bouillon to make gravies and add meaty flavor! I also use texturized protein products for same purpose, but for those that don't want to take in too much soy then making seitan is a good option. Obviously (?) this is not for gluten sensitive folks. Seitan is not hard to make but definitely follow a recipe and get good at making one type of item. Let that be your go to option. Seitan is high in protein and fairly low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. It also contains a number of minerals. "Compared to beef loin, seitan contains fewer calories and less fat but nearly the same amount of protein"

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 🤣
