The Conversation
When we think about meat alternatives, our minds tend to go straight to tofu or tempeh — but there’s another option that is worth getting excited about (and it isn’t chickpeas). Seitan is a wheat gluten, and it’s been acting as a meat substitute in certain parts of Asia for over a thousand years. If you have yet to try it, we’ve got 12 mouth-watering reasons why you need to give it a shot this Meatless Monday.
