Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital Wheat Gluten

EverydayDryEnriched

Vital wheat gluten is a concentrated wheat protein powder created by washing wheat flour to remove starches while retaining the protein content. This enriched, dry product contains approximately 75-80% protein by weight and becomes highly elastic when hydrated, making it essential for improving structure in whole grain breads and creating meat alternatives like seitan. As a concentrated form of wheat protein, it is not suitable for gluten-free diets and should be used sparingly due to its dense nutritional profile.
