Anybody that buys this, please let me know where you get it from. NYC, Brooklyn, etc I don't care. I live in an Asian area with ethnic grocery stores and Surprisingly no one carries Seitan in their stores. I would like to make it instead of paying to eat out. The restaurant I go to makes it from scratch so they couldn't tell me what store sells it already formed. I heard of the White Wave brand but who carries that?

Most natural foods stores carry the White Wave stuff, but I don't buy packaged seitan because it's expensive, and you don't get a whole lot in that package (it's half water, half product). So go to the baking aisle, get some Arrowhead Mills Vital Wheat Gluten and make your own. The package will have the proportions of water to gluten mix, and you can find recipes for simmering sauces in "La Dolce Vegan" by Sarah Kramer. Almost any vegan cookbook will also have a recipe for seitan.

The other night I bought this brand at my local Whole Foods grocery store wholefoods.com (they should have a store finder). They are a nation wide chain so I assume they have them in NYC. For recipes and to learn how to make your own seitan visit vegan-food.net I haven't made anything yet with it so I can't tell you anymore about White Wave seitan. Seitan is actually referred to as wheat meat.

This is a site that lists canned and frozen meat substitutes. Some are delicious, and some not so. They have a store locator so you can find a store close to you. They're also sold in some grocery store chains. The bigger ones.
If you're new to canned meat substitute, try 'Big Franks' first. Yum.

Where Can I Buy Seitan

I am a former chef and it is a marketing ploy, like why they call "surimi" artifical crabment when there is no crab in tehm, I had one from Alaska one time, it was made with stock from the crabs cooked for processing in the king crab industry, they cook tons and the water is dumped.
Like anything that is an imitation of another product it has to be labelled to make appealing to the general public, like whipped topping like Cool Whip, Richs Toppit and dream Whip, the FDA and USDA would not allow them to use the term artifical whipped cream as there is no dairy in all but the Dream Whip.

each and every Asian food market i've got ever been in has stocked it. And that's a actual adventure and coaching to pass attempting to discover it; they have this kind of super style of thrilling issues in those shops.

You shouldn't eat anything that even has meat in the name...Even Mock Meat...Make your spagetti with NO meat...or imitation meat...plain...tomatoes and wheat pasta and onion...anything else is cheating ...
