Seitan, often referred to as 'wheat meat,' is a high-protein, plant-based ingredient made from gluten, the main protein in wheat. It has a chewy, meat-like texture and a neutral flavor that readily absorbs seasonings and marinades, making it a versatile substitute for meat in vegan and vegetarian recipes. Typically beige or light brown in color, seitan can be shaped, sliced, or crumbled to mimic various meat cuts, making it a popular choice for those seeking hearty, protein-rich alternatives to animal products.

Store seitan in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 5-7 days. If you have unopened packaged seitan, keep it in the fridge until the expiration date. For longer storage, seitan can be frozen in a sealed freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen seitan in the refrigerator overnight before use. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to prevent spoilage.
