Gluten Making Recipe

 Well prepared Gluten – A Vegan Delight 

Fried Gluten in a healthy vegan meal (tomato sauce)

“Cooking is no mean science, and it is one of the most essential in practical life. To make food appetizing and at the same time simple and nourishing, requires skill; but it can be done.” Ellen G. White, Diet and Health

The use of gluten, prepared in a variety of ways, is very common among vegans. It can be fried, baked or stewed. Gluten is described as a family of proteins found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley. Some persons may be gluten- intolerant. These persons may therefore choose an alternative ‘meat substitute.’
