Grilled seitan is a protein-packed meat alternative made primarily from wheat gluten, the protein component of wheat. Originating from Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Japanese, seitan has been used for centuries as a vegetarian substitute for meat due to its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavors. The grilling process enhances its savory taste and adds a smoky, caramelized layer. Rich in protein while being low in fat, grilled seitan is a popular choice for those seeking plant-based protein options. It contains essential minerals like iron and selenium but is low in fiber. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Often paired with marinades and spices, it serves as a versatile addition to sandwiches, salads, or main dishes. Nutritionally dense and satisfying, grilled seitan is an excellent option for vegetarian and vegan diets.
