A reliable brand that's readily available is Bob's Red Mill. I've even seen it in grocery stores.

Another brand of Vital Wheat Gluten I've seen in the stores, in the bulk bin section, is the SuperGluten 80, which may be the Canadian naming convention. It's the same as Vital Wheat Gluten, 80% gluten protein or more and therefore very few carbs.
Another US brand to keep an eye out for is Arrowhead Mills Vital Wheat Gluten, 75-80% gluten.
Regular All-Purpose Flour contains only 12-14% gluten (in the US, max 12%, in Canada up to 14%). "High Gluten Bread Flour" is at the 14% level.
Hope this helps. |
