Patrick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can anyone tell me which source of protein is better seitan or tofu? I heard that seitan contains gluten, is that correct? And what type of symptoms can gluten pose on the body? Appreciate any feedback. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Seitan is gluten, if you have no problems digesting it, then it's fine. I believe soy has a better amino profile though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i think the best is combining the two =)tvp and gluten makes awesome meatballs and hamburgers. gluten and soy together has one of the best amino acid profiles you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjohanx Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 tvp is textured vegetable protein. it's soy, but not tofu. it comes in many different forms. mince, fillet, strips and so on. when i make burgers or meatballs i use the mince of course. i also have tofu. if you want i can try translate the recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks xjohanx. Unfortunately, I can not open the file. Access from work is denied. I'll give TVP a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljk11 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 TVP is not exactly tofu. It's defatted soy flour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
