Reply to comment by marriedacarrot in I analyzed 11000 products of a Dutch supermarket to find the cheapest sources of protein [OC] by MemeableData

Wheat gluten is not edible by itself. I don't see anyone out there chugging powdered wheat gluten.

So go ahead and make it into something even remotely edible, then we'll talk about protein to calories split.

At least among the omnivores in my family, my seitan "carne" asada is a massive hit.

It's wheat gluten powder hydrated with brown veggie & mushroom broth, with cumin, chili powder, and a dash of soy sauce. Baked. Then diced and browned in corn oil with minced onion, a little more soy sauce, and a hint of molasses. Serve with freshly made corn tortillas and pico de gallo or tomatillo-aguacate salsa.
