However, seitan has little in common with flour or bread. It has a savory taste, probably closest to bland chicken or a portobello mushroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seitan is high in protein, but it doesn&#8217;t contain enough of lysine (amino acid), thus seitan is not considered a complete protein. However, by eating lysine rich foods such as beans with your seitan meal, you have a complete protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The popularity of seitan is due more to its texture rather than its taste. This is especially true when compared to other alternatives,such as tofu or tempeh, which don&#8217;t have a &#8220;meaty&#8221; texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideas: seitan steak,\u00a0 hot and spicy as in seitan &#8220;chicken wings &#8220;, savory in a Indian or Thai curry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Nutritional value per 100g<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy: 140 kcal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein: 19g<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbohydrate: 12g<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat: 2g<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Soya mince<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4133\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/en\/the-4-top-meat-alternatives-for-vegans\/soy-mince-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?fit=1000%2C691&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,691\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Soy-Mince\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?fit=1000%2C691&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4133\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?resize=365%2C252&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?resize=768%2C531&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.changeeat.com.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Soy-Mince.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soya mince, called texturized vegetable protein, is an easy to use and inexpensive source of protein.
