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

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