ANNA - PAT - re seitan(Was - Economic Crisis Bitten Your Food Budget?)

[Guest guest]

Hi Marie! I’ve relocated myself — I’m an American living in Australia

since

2003!

 

I do hope you can find it retail — if wholesalers can get it, it’s available

somewhere! I wonder what they’re using it for? I had never heard of it

until I went vegan, and only use it to make seitan — have no idea what else

it would be used for. LOL

 

Good luck in your search. I hope the company can tell you where to find a

local reseller.

 

Anna

You can make seitan from regular wheat flour or whole wheat flour:
