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.

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.
Rating: - Perfect for seitan I buy this to make huge batches of seitan. Freeze it down and cuts back on weekly cooking time drastically.
Rating: - Good for vegans and bread making I'm not a vegan and I'm not allergic to wheat gluten.Nevertheless, I use this to make Seitan in many varieties.Extracting wheat gluten from flour is very time consuming so this is a real time saver.My favorites are Asian Seitans and faux pastrami.You can also use it to fortify some breads.If you don't know what wheat gluten is used for then don't buy it.
Rating: - great for breads 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
