Vital Wheat Gluten vs. Wheat Gluten Flour

[AKillian24]

I'm full of questions this week..... hopefully in the near future I will be able to provide a few more ANSWERS!

Ok.. so in looking at my recipes, I've realized I've been using Wheat Gluten Flour - and there is another box in my pantry that is "Vital Wheat Gluten" - much more $$ and different makeup.

Anyone have any experience with the two? Are they interchangeable?

My impression is that they are the same thing.

Vital wheat gluten is pure wheat gluten. Perhaps the one called wheat gluten flour is a flour that has wheat gluten added, or basically--bread flour. Vital wheat gluten is used in small amounts as an additive to your flour to enable a higher rise.
