I ran across a product that I had never seen before at a low carb co-op site, Locarber.com. It is Wheat protien isolate. It only has one gram of carb per cup of powder. Right off the bat, I can see potential for baking. However, I know nothing about it and It is $25.00 for a 5 lb sack. I would like to know more about it before I shell out the dough, (so to speak :lol: )

Thanks

It's been discussed here a few times since it went into production a few weeks or months ago.

If you do a quick search here for those words exactly (use cut'n'paste) you should quickly get the opinions that are already here.

I did do a search before I posted my question. I got results for soy protien isolate, but no wheat.

I'm sorry, but if you spell protein as protien, the search won't work...it's pretty exacting, which is why I suggested using cut'n'paste.

Quite a number of people have posted about this in the Liquid Splenda thread as well (because there's a 'Splenda Syrup Concentrate' available at the same website as the wheat protein isolate).

I have tried the wheat protein isolate and it is a tool in baking but it does not act like flour in recipies. Things take longer to bake and they rise nicely in the oven and then deflate and become very heavy. There are recipes on the web site where it is sold and they work but not really well. I like it though. I make pancakes using 1/2 WPI and 1/2 zero carb bake mix and everyone loves them. They don't rise much but the taste in good--no soy taste. I have been using combinations of this product with zero carb bake mix and/or nut flours and the results are acceptable.
