What The Heck Are…tofu, tempeh, and seitan?

You’ve heard of tofu. But that’s not the only meat mimic you’ll see popping up on vegetarian menus. Here’s the lowdown on these replacement products:

Tofu: Created by a process similar to the way milk is turned into cheese; this protein-rich Asian staple is available in the U.S. in several different textures—extra firm, firm, and silken—and can be used in a wide range of different ways.

Tempeh: Made from fermented soybeans, this grainy, nutty cake (you can slice it or crumble it) is rich in filling fiber as well as protein.

Seitan: Often sold as “mock duck” or “mock chicken” in Asian restaurants, this fake meat is actually made from the protein in wheat known as wheat gluten. Some vegetarians don’t like it because its texture is too meaty!
