Tried extracting gluten from flour before, then found out it doesn’t work with wholemeal flour. Could try it again sometime, got white flour now because it was all I could get hold of.
Definitely use bread flour if you make it yourself. The higher the protein, the better, because the protein is what you’re getting out of it.
To get 4lbs of gluten (dry weight), you’ll need 30lbs of white flour. You’ll get seitan for about half the price if you make it yourself (assuming flour is $0.50 per pound)… but I honestly think it’s so cheap that it’s worth it to buy the pre-processed gluten powder. Also because I’ve tried making it myself from flour, and I just don’t get good results.
4lbs of gluten is 4lbs of pure protein. If you eat 50 grams per day, it’ll last 36 days.
Yes, eat more than one kind of thing, obviously.
