Description

Original Seitan is a plant-based protein product made primarily from wheat gluten, which is the protein-rich component of wheat. Known for its dense and chewy texture, Original Seitan is often used as a meat substitute in various vegetarian and vegan dishes. It is particularly popular for its ability to absorb flavors, making it versatile for a wide range of culinary applications, from stir-fries to stews. The product is typically seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and other spices to enhance its savory taste, and it can be sliced, diced, or shredded to mimic the texture of meat in recipes.

The Tofoo Company offers a tofu product that is known for its firm texture and rich flavor, making it a popular choice for those seeking a high-quality tofu option. Unlike some other tofu products, The Tofoo Company's tofu is made using a traditional Japanese method, which involves pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, resulting in a denser and more flavorful product. This tofu is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to salads, and can be marinated or seasoned to suit different taste preferences. It is also suitable for grilling, baking, or frying, making it a flexible ingredient for both simple and complex recipes.
