Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Can someone please explain to me all the differences and different uses of the substitutes? I've been a vegetarian for 6 months, and i'm still a little confused. What's the difference between seitan, tempeh, glutin, TVP, tofu, and any others? thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 seitan: a wheat gluten based protein that is seasoned and cut to taste and look like real meat. tempeh: a soybean product that has a beany texture and a nutty flavor. tofu: a soy bean product made from soybean curd that is stored in water and has a very mild flavor. it is a virtual sponge as it takes the flavor of anything you season it with, and it comes in differnt consistences--silken, soft, firm, and extra firm. they each fulfill different purposes depending on what you are cooking. TVP: textured vegetable protein: another soy product made from dehydrated soy. you reconstitute it and use it as a crumble-style item. gluten: again, is boiled with tamari and spices to make seitan. vital wheat gluten is also used in baking. hope this helps! laurie - <MSeriynneM Monday, October 02, 2000 11:45 PM The variations of substitutes > Can someone please explain to me all the differences and different uses of > the substitutes?
