NKD Living Vital Wheat Gluten 1kg

Fast and easy to mix and knead. I've always fancied making my own seitan, and this product makes the process straightforward. A kilo makes over three kilos of seitan, which tastes and cooks far better than the horrible, watery tinned stuff sold in Holland and Barretts.This also reduces the cost to less than a fifth of the retail price. Tightly rolled in cooking foil and steamed, this makes the most meaty vegan sausages I've tasted. Also very good in stir fries and 'Chinese' mock-duck pancakes. An essential ingredient in meat-free recipes, with a high protein content and relatively low in carbohydrates.I've a

If you're looking at this then you know about vital wheat gluten and why you want it, so I won't go into that. Suffiec to say that I use this product to make seitan and have bought this brand multiple times as it is a reasonable price and good quality. Crucially for my household, this has no warnings on about nut traces so we can actually use it in a house with someone with a severe nut allergy. (This can be rare in the wholefoods world where MANY products have such warnings!)

With the coronavirus, the supermarkets no longer appear to have bread flour. I have been making my own bread for over 30 years and did not want to miss out on baking my own.Plain four is readily available. (Other countries call this all purpose flour.) So I researched and found that one needs to add wheat gluten to plain flour to make the bread flour. The rate is one teaspoonful to one cup of flour. (I use the cup measures as they are easier to manage than scales.) I thought I may have trouble mixing it up, but this was not the case.I measured my three cups of flour into a bowl, added three teaspoons full of wheat gluten and stirred vigourously. I put this in my bread machine (yes, these days I am lazy) and waited.The bread came out perfect. I will not be buying bread flour anymore. And this kg of wheat gluten will last a long, long time.

As a vegan you try to vary your diet as much as possible... You also have to ensure you are getting enough protein. Vital wheat gluten is the main and essential ingredient in a versatile vegan dish called Seitan... You can buy it, but its so much cheaper and rewarding to make it at home. NKD vital wheat gluten is consistent and reliable and is a good price. The big plus for vegans is that it has a massive 82% protein content...BTW, seitan isn't just reserved for vegans... It's got a great texture and flavour when made properly and can be enjoyed by anyone... give it a try and judge for yourself.

Can finally make sandwich bread now, works a treat. Still cut it like a door stop but its doesn't fall apart anymore.

I use this to make seitan at home and found it works well. The bag is a bit awkward to reseal so I just fold it and use a bag clip. Have bought this several times as it is good value for money.
