Gluten Flour (Vital Wheat) 2 lbs

Gluten flour, also known as vital wheat gluten, is a high-protein flour made by hydrating wheat flour to activate the gluten (the main protein in wheat), then removing everything else (starch and bran). What remains is a fine, light powder that’s about 70–80% protein.


Key Features

  • High in protein: 70–80% protein by weight

  • Low in starch: Unlike all-purpose flour, most of the starch is removed

  • Vegan-friendly: Commonly used in plant-based cooking, especially for making seitan (a meat substitute)

  • Binding agent: Adds elasticity and chewiness in baked goods


Common Uses

  1. Seitan (Wheat Meat): Primary ingredient due to its meaty texture

  2. Bread Making: Enhances rise and structure in whole grain or low-gluten flours

  3. Pasta & Noodles: Improves chewiness and bite

  4. Meat Alternatives: Used in many commercial vegetarian and vegan products
