Seitan is made from spelt whole wheat, it is an all-round vegan meat substitute, it readily absorbs the flavors from broth and marinades used for beef, lamb, pork, chicken, duck.We stopped raising our own beef, because we eat so little of it. Our grain grinder attachment to our kitchen mixer is used more and more as we discover new uses for spelt whole wheat, the way farmers used to grind their own grain harvest.For me, seitan resembles meat more than my two other home made meat substitutes, tofu and tempeh, I like seitan texture and flavor as much as my other favorite, buckwheat spam.

It is fermenting on my counter, I taste it every few days. I also went out and bought a fresh bottle of original Worcester sauce bottle to compare the flavors.
