Thread: Seeking information about: vital wheat gluten

Thanks for responding...and so quickly!

I bought mine for about $7 for a qt jar full. To me it is worth it's weight in gold. Since you only need a teaspoon or two per cup of all-purpose flour to give it enough gluten to make bread. Around here all-purpose flour is $7 for 10 kg. Bread flour is $10 for 5 kg.

At my store it's $5 a pound. I guess there's a wide variance in price.

Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill are two other name brands that are fairly broadly available. I also find it at the bulk food store. I understand some health food stores carry it, since it's used to make seitan.

Sometimes it is simply labeled 'wheat gluten' or 'gluten'. My Walmart carries it in a small box, made by Hodgson Mills and it is only a couple of dollars. It can be found in the flour section. I also find it in the bulk bins at my health food store, but it is not real expensive there, either.
