Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital wheat gluten (also called gluten flour and vital gluten) is the isolated protein of wheat and is most often used as an ingredient in whole-grain and whole-wheat breads to improve the elasticity and texture of dough. It's also a key ingredient in "wheat meat" such as seitan, a vegan, meat-free alternative that mimics the texture of meat. Nutritionally Speaking Because it is a highly refined product, vital wheat gluten's vitamin and mineral content is less than that of whole wheat. One tablespoon of vital wheat gluten contains about 35 calories, 1 grams of carbohydrate and 7 grams of protein. Vital wheat gluten is sodium-free, fat-free, saturated fat-free and contains no cholesterol. It is important when shopping to carefully read labels, as true vital wheat gluten is not always consistently labeled and similar products may have starch milled in with the gluten. Seitan and other meat analogs made from vital wheat gluten are good protein alternatives for vegetarians or anyone looking for meat substitutes, particularly those who may be allergic to soy. However, people with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity or wheat allergies should take special care to read labels of these and other products, since vital wheat gluten contains gluten.
