Note:

• Percent Daily Values (DV) are based on a 2,000-calorie diet.
• Seitan, made from vital wheat gluten, is a high-protein, low-fat meat substitute often used in vegetarian and vegan diets.
• It is an excellent source of plant-based protein, though it lacks lysine, an essential amino acid, so combining it with lysine-rich foods like legumes is recommended.
• Low in fat and carbohydrates, seitan is a versatile choice for heart-healthy and low-carb diets.
• Contains a modest amount of iron and selenium, beneficial for oxygen transport and antioxidant support.
• It is not suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease due to its high gluten content.
