2Seitan
Seitan, also known as wheat gluten or wheat meat, is one of the most popular protein sources for many vegans and vegetarians. It is mainly made from gluten, which is the main protein of wheat. Different from other soy-based meats, this food has the same texture and look of cooked meat. 50 grams of seitan contains approximately 13 grams of protein, making it the richest source of plant-based protein on this list. This food also provides other minerals, such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, and selenium. Thus, it can be a great alternative to meat. You can grill, saute, pan-fry, and add it into many recipes. [2]
