Question: Wheat Protein Isolate: Too good to be true?
I've seen this product for sale on some low carb websites
(e.g.: http://tinyurl.com/yq7oa) The claims are that it has 1.5g total carbs per cup and .5 grams of fiber, or net ONE GRAM of carbs per cup -- and that it can be substituted full strength for flour and/or wheat gluten in any recipe to make truly low-carb breads, cookies, etc. What's the catch ... other than the fact that it's $25.00 for 5 pounds? If this product really works as advertised, why haven't we seen *truly* low-carb bakery goods on the commercial market made with Wheat Protein Isolate (cookies, cakes, muffins, breads, etc.). Seems to me this would be so much of a breakthrough in low carb baking that it would be headlines. Or is it just the extremely high cost that is prohibitive from making it a true everyday low-carb flour substitute ? Enquiring minds want to know .......... -- Peter website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo |
