Product Description:
Honeyville's Vital Wheat Gluten can be used to greatly improve bakery products. It is the gluten in wheat flour that is responsible for the unique features of bread, features which are not possible with other cereal flours. Vital Wheat Gluten is a concentrated protein that possesses a special visco-elastic property. As a functional protein, vital wheat gluten provides additional qualities to the dough when used in baked goods. Wheat flour contains some natural gluten but often not to the extent desired. Many baked goods benefit from the addition of vital wheat gluten. The effect on the bread is remarkable.

- That's a lot of gluten
I never really realized how much gluten was in a 3.5 pound can. I now have gluten for life. Bought this to make wheat bread. It works as advertised and makes the wheat bread rise nicely. Since we have so much I decided to expand our horizons and make some seitan (sp?). That didn't go over very well with the family. I guess I'll stick with using it for bread. At two teaspoons of gluten per loaf of wheat bread, I won't need to buy any for a while.

i wanted to make seitan, but it is too hard to work with and doesn't taste good.

- Big Disappointment
I ordered this via the company's storefront at Amazon so we could make seitan at home.Instead of a can of wheat gluten, they sent a 3.5 pound can of steel cut oats instead.Since it had to be forwarded to us at an APO address (since the seller refuses to send to an APO address), we have no recourse to return it.
So, I guess well never know if this stuff is good or not.All we know is that they sent the wrong item.
Rating: - Great value for the money!
The only source for Vital Wheat Gluten available locally is a 1.5 Cup package on sale at Wal-Mart as a baking additive -- at a cost of nearly $2.00 (USD). This 3.5 pound package was a godsend as I have an entire folder of seitan recipes I've wanted to try -- and now I'm working my way deliciously through it!
Rating: - Best deal on Wheat Gluten
Hands down, this is the best bulk deal on Wheat Gluten around. If you were to buy this same amount at Whole Foods (in the tiny boxes they offer) you'd pay 2-3 times as much.
