When the coconut tree is tapped, it produces a highly nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms.

Easy Homemade Seitan (Seitan is made from kneaded and boiled wheat gluten, and is a hearty protein to add to vegetarian meals. It often reminds people of the texture of meat.)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cupsWheat Gluten Flour
- 1/4 cupNutritional Yeast Flakes
- 1 Tbsp. Herbs and/or Spices such as smoked paprika, pepper, garlic flakes, thyme, etc. (optional)
- 1 1/4 cups cold Water
- 1/4 cup Coconut Amino
- 10 cups homemade Vegetable Broth
Make the broth first: fill up your biggest pot with the broth and aminos and add some ice cubes to keep it very cold. It is okay if the broth is a bit over 10 cups, but do not use less than 10 cups of liquid.To make the dough: mix the gluten flour and nutritional yeast flakes in a dry bowl, add herbs if you are using, and mix with a fork. Add the very cold water and Coconut Aminos all at once, and mix well (first with a spatula, then with your hands works best). The dough will become very spongy and elastic, and it should be one doughy ball. There may be some liquid that does not bind with the dough- simply drain it off. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then slice into three equal sized pieces and drop into your cold broth. Bring the broth to a boil, and then simmer at medium/low heat for 1 hour. Check periodically, to make sure it's not boiling. Stir the pieces halfway through (using tongs or a wooden spoon) so they don't stick. Let it cool completely in the broth, then store in its broth in the fridge for up to a week (sometimes longer!).BEST WAY TO COOK FRESH SEITAN:Cut the seitan into half-inch thick slices and grill until brown in a lightly oiled cast iron pan, for about 10 minutes each side. Serve with noodles, rice, vegetables, or in stir-fries, pastas, or on sandwiches!
