Seitan is a protein alternative to meat. It is made from wheat gluten (something you’ve heard that some people are allergic to), but if you’re not (which most people are not), it’s low in fat and carbs. The box says “Great in stir frys or on it’s own” I would have to say so not, even though it looks like foie gras and maybe that’s what I was thinking about when I took a bite of this totally not tasty treat. If I was putting something into a stir fry, I would stick with tofu and tempeh (which is really tasty). I wonder if Satan had anything to do with this wheat gluten health food? Plus it also cost $5. for a little bag of it. But then again a steak that size would cost as much!
