Bertyn Seitan

The demand increases, the production remains authentic

Manitoba Wheat or Oberkülmer Rotkorn Spelt.

Every day, kilos of flour are poured into the kneading machine.

It takes two hours for the seitan maker to flush the carbohydrates out of the flour.

Therefore, the same person usually does this job every time.

They stand even less chance a little later when the seitan is put in the pasteurizer.
