Honeyville's Vital Wheat Gluten is extracted from a naturally occurring protein found in wheat that can greatly improve your baked goods. The gluten in wheat flour is responsible for making the dough rise and have a moist, light texture after baking. Adding this wheat gluten helps your loaves of bread that use low-gluten flours such as rye, oat or buckwheat rise to be light and fluffy. Wheat flour does contain natural gluten, but not often to the extent desired. This is why many pastry chefs and bakers benefit from the aid of vital wheat gluten; the effect on the bread is remarkable! Just adding a tablespoon or two transforms any bread into a picture-perfect, light-textured loaf that will have the neighbors begging you for your secret technique.
Shelf-Life: Vital Wheat Gluten will store for 7 to 10 years in a sealed #10 can (oxygen absorber included) under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry place). Once opened, it has an average shelf life of 6 to 12 months. The 50 pound bag stores for 1 year in sealed packaging under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry place).
Instructions: Depending on the quality of the flour, the recommended usage is between 3% and 5% of the total weight of the required amount of flour. For 1 bread loaf, add 1 or 2 tablespoons to the flour.
Uses: Can be added to improve your breads, muffins, croissants and more.
Packaging: Vital Wheat Gluten is sealed air tight in a #10 can and weighs approximately 3.5 pounds. A case contains 6 #10 cans and weighs 21 pounds. Each can contains 45 servings. One serving size is ¼ cup. The 50 pound bag packaging may vary.
Ingredients: Vital Wheat Gluten. Certified kosher with documentation available upon request.
Allergen information: Contains Wheat. These cans are produced on equipment that processes products containing soy, wheat, milk, egg, peanut, and tree nuts.

Exactly what I needed
I trusted the reviews and bought a tin of this stuff to try my hand at making seitan, and it is fantastic. Easy to measure, quick to absorb liquid, works like a dream.

Best Gluten for Seitan
I am a vegan, and make / consume quite a bit of seitan ("wheat" meat) from The Gentle Chef Cookbook by Skye Michael Conroy. Honeyville brand has proven itself to be the freshest, and best for making seitans. The 50# bag is a great value for someone - like me - who uses a lot of vital wheat gluten.

great for seitan
I've used this for a few years to make vegan breakfast sausage, vegan Italian sausage and as an ingredient in my black bean burgers. It works very well and is a great value.

Great product
I bake all our bread and baked goods from scratch. Honeyville's Vital Wheat Gluten is the difference between a dense loaf of whole wheat bead and a light delicious loaf. I use it in both whole wheat and multi-grain bread recipes and all my baking comes out light and tasting wonderful. I've tried several other brands and Honeyville's is by far the best. I highly recommend this product.

Ms
Vital Wheat Gluten is amazing as made into seitan (aka 'wheat-meat') if you are not *actually* a gluten sensitive person. I am not and I have gotten quite a giggle over the gluten-free bandwagon. Been experimenting making 'wheat-meat' -- yum yum and very satisfying high protein mock-meat. Fabulous for more than just bread products!!!!

vital wheat gluten
Vital wheat gluten is a must when baking breads with lower protein levels. I tried baking bread with out it and the bread would not stay risen when baked. I added a few tablespoons per loaf and the dough is beautiful loaf stays nice high and light.

Essential for whole grain breads
Until I decided to give vital wheat gluten a try all my whole grain wheat breads came out dense and heavy. With the addition of 1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten to 1 cup of whole grain flour I get a much lighter and tender loaf.
