Seitan Chorizo, 8 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this seitan chorizo in the refrigerated vegan/vegetarian section or deli case, grabbed for quick tacos, breakfast scrambles, or a spice-forward weekend brunch. It feels adventurous and savory—a plant-based take on nostalgic chorizo—while the chewy, meat-like texture comes from concentrated vital wheat gluten. The ingredient list is short and lacks obvious industrial additives, suggesting a processed, formulated product rather than a highly engineered ultra-processed snack.
