    Someone should make a brand of seitan marketed towards body builders and gym bros. 3x as much protein as beef! How do you beat that.

      Told my gym going co worker, I wouldn’t call him a gym bro but he’s working out about how stupid protein dense seitan is and he’s all over it now

        Seitan is a food you make by extracting just the gluten from wheat, making a dough of that, kneading the hell of of it, then cooking it. It’s 75% protein by mass.

        Pure seitan is tough and aggressively bland, but mixing a little of just about anything into the flour fixes both of those. In my opinion, a good seitan recipe has the best texture of any meat.

            It’s sort of a building block food, you can really flavor it to taste like just about anything. Vegan place I worked at did seitan donair for example. It’s a little tricky to make but after a few tries you’ll have it going well
