what is anyone's take on this product.

I get conflicting information, anytime I look it up.

I found a pasta recipe, that actually looks like pasta, but now I am torn about trying it {yellow}:sweaty:

My take:

Vital wheat gluten is a protein.  For celiacs and people with a gluten sensitivity, it's obviously a "no go".  However, I think it is one of the many ingredients that has been demonized by a number of people in the keto community because it contains the word "wheat".  For baking, it provides the structure and chew that is hard to achieve without flour.  Back pre-keto, I used it in my Neapolitan pizza crust dough to get a little extra chew.

I use it my baking and the only reason I don't use it in more videos is because I get tired of the blowback from the "keto police" whenever I use an ingredient they deem "illegal".

@ketoadmin awesome. I'm pretty strict with my keto, but sometimes you have to go a little dirty.  I appreciate your opinion, I have made so many of your recipes.  Bought things I would have never even known about or how to use.  Your tortillas are a staple in my fridge, I have to make my own paneer, as I live in BFE...but they are awesome.

@cmal65 lol you said BFE.... I haven't heard that or said in a long time, but as soon as I read it I just started laughing and flashbacks. Sorry just had to pop in and tell you that. Made me feel good for some reason.

@scroggins lol, glad you got a giggle.

Its true thou, no Costco, whole foods, nothing.  If it wasn't for Amazon and Steve, I'd probably be living on pepperoni and cheese.
