What it is

Wheat gluten is the protein naturally found in wheat. It is extracted from wheat flour by washing away the starch. This process results in a sticky, elastic dough that is dried and ground into a powder.

Why it's used

Wheat gluten is often added to foods for its binding and chewy texture, acting as a protein source and dough enhancer. It is commonly found in baked goods, meat substitutes, and some pasta products.

Health notes

Wheat gluten is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gluten must be avoided. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated gluten, and it is a well-studied component of wheat.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat gluten is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten, which is a protein that can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals.
