Elevate your baking results and dough structure with Wheat Gluten. Sourced from high-quality wheat grown in the Netherlands or Poland, this fine, light-yellow vital wheat gluten powder is extracted by gently drying freshly prepared wet gluten separated from premium wheat flour. It provides artisan bakers and home cooks with a natural, concentrated source of plant-protein to improve dough strength, elasticity, and volume.
Adding vital wheat gluten to your baking mixes helps form a robust gluten matrix that traps yeast gases, allowing heavy, whole grain, or low-gluten flours (such as rye, spelt, or oat flour) to rise higher and achieve a lighter, airier crumb. Naturally containing over 75% protein, Frutex Gluten B also serves as the ideal high-protein base for crafting homemade plant-based meats and traditional vegan seitan.
