The origins of seitan are to be found in China, a country in which this product is obtained from the gluten contained in some cereals such as spelled or oriental wheat: it is then subjected to cooking, to then be generally enriched with salt and kombu seaweed. Seitan is also ideal for those who have chosen to embrace the vegan diet model, as well as being truly perfect for those who must significantly limit the intake of fats, cholesterol and, in general, which they must contain in calories in an important way. Over the last few years, seitan has experienced a significant increase in its popularity even in Western countries, where events dedicated to this particular food are held.
