Is Fu Gluten Free?

Avoid

No. Fu is a wheat gluten product used as a meat substitute in Japanese cuisine.

Fu and the Gluten Free Diet

Fu, also known as wheat gluten, is a traditional ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is made by washing wheat flour dough with water to remove the starch granules, leaving behind the gluten, which is then cooked and used as a meat substitute. Fu is often used in soups, stews, and stir-fried dishes for its chewy texture and ability to absorb flavors.
