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. | | | Features: | |
• This is not flour. This is 75% wheat protein powder for baking.
• Enhances taste and color in bakery products.
• Improves nutritional value and extends shelf life.
• Store for over 5 years unopened
• Each can contains 3.5 pounds of Vital Wheat Gluten.

 The best way to buy gluten!Jul 26, 2006
By Ruth
"Healthy baker"
If you bake a lot of homemade yeast bread and rolls, this is the best way to buy gluten. Even bread flour doesn't have enough gluten to make yeast bread light and fluffy, and whole wheat flour is a different story altogether. I order gluten in these great big cans, and it beats the heck out of trying to find it in little boxes in the stores. Even my whole wheat bread is light and yummy.

Perfect for seitanSep 20, 2008
By Pablo
I buy this to make huge batches of seitan. Freeze it down and cuts back on weekly cooking time drastically.

Great value for the money!Nov 23, 2008
By Kenneth
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!

That's a lot of glutenJan 06, 2009
By T. Hoffman
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.

great for breadsApr 01, 2007
By N. Mitchell
"Arianna Johnson"
It really made my bread rise and stay fresh. I have been told that home made bread from bread machines does not keep for longer than one day or maybe two. My bread stayed fresh longer and I think it was due to the wheat gluten. It tasted very nice as well which is fantastic
