Who knows. I've noticed over the last couple years that lots of breads, hamburger buns, etc, are having soy flour added to them, which doesn't contain any gluten, and would push the ratio towards the lower-gluten end. With all the additives, the gluten composition might not be changing very much. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes awful. I was wondering the same. The first place I saw it was crap hamburger buns at a BBQ I went to with my girlfriend several years ago-- so it can't be an appeal to health. Since soy flour doesn't rise much at all without the addition of gluten, I don't see why it could be for texture. The only possibility I can see left is that they had a really cheap source and are cutting costs? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
