To some hardcore carnivores, the idea of eating wheat gluten may sound like a form of vicious torture. But I can assure you from experience and experimentation that when it’s prepared properly you won’t be offended. (Unless you’re one of the unlucky few who are gluten intolerant.) Many years ago I willingly decided to cut down on meat in my diet. Not because of some of the most obvious reasons that other health fanatics do, but simply because I was trying to cut down on the fat in my diet. It got easier with time to the point that I ended up trying wheat gluten in a typically meaty Chinese dish. It was so yummy. If I could prepare wheat gluten this way in my home, I was sure to be hooked! Why am I talking about “wheat meat” on Preparedness Pro? There are actually several great reasons. “Wheat Meat” Benefit #1: Cost. As you may recall, I got pretty darn excited about buying my ground beef for only .78 cents a pound last month. However, if you consider that 9 cups of wheat gluten is equivalent to 3 pounds of hamburger, “wheat meat” may be a much more attractive protein purchase for food storage needs. Considering that I just paid just over $10 for a 50 pound bag of hard red wheat, I think you can see that “wheat meat” is a much better bang for your buck. It’s a lot less expensive than beef, pork, and chicken! “Wheat Meat” Benefit #2: Shelf-Life. As you already are aware, wheat has a very, very long shelf-life. Unfortunately your cans of chicken and beef, as well as your bacon bits, do not. “Wheat Meat” Benefit #3: Time. Remember what I say about conserving your own physical energy during an emergency? Preparation and energy times required for wheat gluten and regular meat are very comparable “Wheat Meat” Benefit #4: Nutrition. As you know, purchasing organic poultry and beef is more expensive than “the regular stuff.” Yet the regular meat fare is indeed loaded with pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, steroids, dyes, and tranquilizers. (Yum. You’re salivating already for some KFC, aren’t you?) Today’s beef also contains 6 times more fat than it did in the 1950’s. The quality keeps going downhill unless you want to pay premium prices. Wheat gluten, however, has none of these toxins in them. “Wheat meat” is actually an excellent source of protein and 8 amino acids. (Be sure you supplement your “wheat meat” intake with foods containing Lysine in order to get complete protein nutrition.) It also contains vital vitamins and minerals. Traditional meat requires the use of vital calcium in your body. Whereas consuming fruits and vegetables (which is what wheat gluten is absorbed as) leads to calcium absorption for the strength of your body. It also has no cholesterol. “Wheat Meat” Benefit #5: Physical Energy. Your body requires more physical energy to digest regular meat than it does wheat gluten. The standard American diet requires the body to use 80 percent of its energy resources to digest food during several cycles of the day. However, “wheat meat” requires significantly less, thus giving you more energy for your other activities of the day. “Wheat Meat” Benefit #6: Taste. Not to be misconstrued with tofu, “wheat meat” successfully takes on a variety of tastes and textures based on simple seasonings. It’s VERY satisfying whether it’s in a ground, sliced, or shredded form. I have been amazed to discover that I’m eating “wheat meat” rather than a piece of tender steak in a fajita. It’s also great in sweet dishes like puddings and candies as well. So, until tomorrow when I share with you how you can easily make your own “wheat meat”, be mulling this concept over. Your body and your wallet may thank you. Wheat Meat Series

Nice article. Sounds good to me! So how do I find this “bag of hard red wheat” in my neck of the woods and how do I transform it into edible treats? 🙂

You should be able to find wheat in any of your local “warehouse” type of store. I get it in my local grocery store in 50 pound bags. And the edible treat information is coming up. I try to keep each blog at less than 3 pages of content. 🙂

Yum, we had sauteed seitan with mushrooms and onions served over pasta in a garlic/tomato cream sauce. If you forget about the “meat” concept and enjoy the meal for what it is you don’t miss the meat.

Good post! I’ve never heard of this but your article makes me want to try it. My family and I are meat eaters and lately I’ve been thinking about trying to cut down on the amount of meat we consume. Can I find wheat meat in my local Giant or Safeway? Looking forward to hearing more from you about wheat meat. Thanks for sharing this info with us. Take care, A.

A. Wheat meat is also known as Sietan, wheat gluten, and in some cases it’s very similiar to textured vegetable protein, aka tvp. You can purchase pre-made Sietan at the local grocery stores. I think I remember it at Safeway. But Morningstar also makes it. It’s in the frozen food section, however, I much prefer my homemade. Tune in tomorrow for ideas to incorporate it into your family’s menu.

Nope. It’s nothing like those items. When you make it, it will be a dense dough that you shape and cook like you would meat. You’ll get more info tomorrow. Enjoy!

Random, but I saw someone mentioned morningstar. For my fellow veggies, u can use the MorningStar: prime grillers veggie patties to make hamburger helper ( a meal usually composed of ground beef) Chop up the patties as u would the ground beef, fry it in a skillet and then pour it into the already cookin sauce and pasta. It’s amazing 🙂
…just to throw that out there.

Is there a difference between wheat gluten and vital wheat gluten? The vital wheat gluten I buy at the store is about $7 for a small bag, but it only takes about 1/2 cup for me to get about a pound of seitan out of it, versus the 3 cups per pound you mentioned earlier. If you know what the difference is will you please share?

Gluten is poisonous to millions of people and the gene (which is evoke-able) is present in 10s of millions even perhaps 100’s of millions of people, mostly of European descent, but also in populations everywhere.
I have become extremely ill from Seitan mixed into other dishes. Please inform people of this.

Bruce, that might be true but that doesn’t mean you’re “healthy”. All carbs are not created equal.
I just stumbled across your site and am psyched you are featuring wheat gluten! I use it for veggie stir fries on a weekly basis. Wheat gluten is much better for you than tofu and other soy based products because it doesn’t have the extra estrogen.

That’s great for now, Bruce. Really. And congrats. But that’s not a realistic diet in an emergency. Also, I’ve discovered that not eating carbs and meat in the same meal is also very healthy for your body as well, particularly your digestive system. Just FYI.

You can also use Quinoa, Millet, and Amarath successfully in your diet. And of course you can sprout the wheat. Doing so changes it from a gluten to a vegetable, but you still get all of that great nutrition.

wheat gluten and vital wheat gluten are the same. The wheat gluten that you’re buying has been commercially broken down and separated already. That’s why you’re paying so much for a little. The good part is though that when you make Sietan from it, you don’t even need to knead it or rinse it. You can throw in your spices right then and there, steam or boil it, and poof! You’ve got your dish. However, since it’s $7 a bag, as you say, that’s why I’m teaching folks about making it from scratch.

Where do you buy 50# wheat for $10? I can locate no MN supplier who sells food grade grains for that price. Have you a local feedstore or farmer’s market?
Kellene · January 18, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Right now a local grocery store chain is selling a 50 pound bag of wheat for only $11.78. (preserved with oxygen absorbers and packaged in a brown paper bag.) Keep in mind that a great deal of wheat is grown in our neighboring states of Idaho, Wyoming, as well as Montana. So yes, we do get wheat cheaper out here.
Noteworthy for all of our readers here, The Wheat Lady, who is based out of Utah, actually sells over 3 million pounds of wheat per year elsewhere in the U.S. because she can get it so affordably from Idaho. She’s presently selling a 5 gallon bucket, filled to the rim, for about $18 a bucket which holds between 50 and 52 pounds of Grade 1 wheat. She only carries this year’s harvest, and is preserved with diatomaceous earth. It has only 9.6 percent moisture and 13.6 percent protein. So if you’re going to buy wheat, I’d recommend to EVERYONE to get it from her! just go to homestoragebasics.org
