20 Oz Bobs Red Mill Wheat Gluten is made from the protein found in the endosperm of the wheat berry, containing 70-80% protein. When combined with water, it becomes highly elastic and has a taffy-like texture.

A small amount added to yeast bread recipes improves the texture and elasticity of the dough, helps retain the gas and steam from baking, and gives more volume to the baked bread.

Vital wheat gluten is also a staple ingredient for meat and meat substitutes. It acts as a binder for meatballs, meatloaf, veggie burgers, and tofu.
