Wheat gluten, also called seitan, wheat meat, gluten meat, or simply gluten, is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat. It is made by washing wheat flour dough with water until all the starch granules have been removed, leaving the sticky insoluble gluten as an elastic mass which is then cooked before being eaten.

First attempt at processing wheat gluten. Due to not containing all the human amino acids the gluten was mixed with blended lentil sprouts to add lysine. The gluten, purchased from Bulk Barn, was mixed, cooked in the oven at 400F for 45 minutes in a Dutch oven. The taste assumes the mixed ingredient flavors. It has a chewy texture. There are many ways of ingesting and forming and this is an experiment which will be expanded. The gluten will be made at home using Red Fife wheat kernels put through a flour mill.
