Through a washing process, the gluten is separated from the starch and then cooked in a vegetable broth which, traditionally, was made with <strong>natural soy sauce<\/strong>, kombu seaweed and ginger. As Marina Domene, nutritionist at SHA, tells us, \u201cit is a food rich in <strong>essential amino acids<\/strong> and minerals, such as sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium, and with high protein content: 100 grams of seitan provide 29 grams of protein. Its texture and taste make seitan the <strong>perfect substitute for meat<\/strong>, but, unlike animal protein, it does not contain cholesterol, so it helps to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. That is why it is popularly known as vegetable meat or <strong>vegan meat<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Seitan is the ideal choice for those who are making the transition from an omnivorous to a vegan or <strong>vegetarian<\/strong> diet. \u201cIn these cases, people often make the mistake of replacing animal proteins with carbohydrates, which can lead to a <strong>protein deficit<\/strong> that can be compensated by including seitan in our diet. It is also a <strong>very healthy food<\/strong> for everyone because it contains no saturated fats or sugars and is very easily digested, which is why it is especially <strong>recommended for people with digestive and stomach issues<\/strong>. Also, thanks to its high protein content, it is excellent for <strong>athletes<\/strong>, since it helps to build muscle\u201d, says Marina.<\/p>\n<p>If, despite the many nutritional properties of seitan, you still have doubts, you should know that it is a versatile food that can be used in cooking and can <strong>be prepared in hundreds of different ways<\/strong>, from minced, to make meatballs or a tasty vegetable bolognese, to cut into slices and cooked on the grill like a steak.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three <strong>very healthy<\/strong> and easy-to-prepare <strong>recipes<\/strong> so that you can see for yourself how tasty and versatile seitan is.<\/p>\n<p>-Sweet and sour seitan: <a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/shamagazine\/sweet-sour-seitan\/\"><strong>Click here <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>-Red rice with vegetables and seitan: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/shamagazine\/healthy-recipes-red-rice-with-vegetables-and-seitan\/\">Click here <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Seitan meatballs with mock tomato: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shawellness.com\/shamagazine\/en\/shamagazine\/healthy-recipes-seitan-meatballs-with-mock-tomato\/\">Click here <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover all the health benefits of this vegetable protein made from wheat gluten, with a taste and texture that make it the perfect substitute for meat.
