About Fried gluten

Fried gluten, also known as wheat gluten or seitan, is a plant-based protein derived from wheat flour. It is made by washing wheat dough to remove the starch, leaving behind a dense, protein-rich mixture that is then fried, giving it a chewy texture and savory flavor. Popular in Chinese cuisine, fried gluten is often used in vegetarian and vegan dishes as a meat substitute. Rich in protein and low in fat, it is a sustainable and versatile food choice. However, it contains gluten, making it unsuitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Additionally, because fried gluten is often prepared with oil, its calorie content may increase depending on the cooking method. Fried gluten can be flavored and incorporated into soups, stir-fries, and braised dishes, making it a valuable option for those exploring plant-based diets.
