What is regarded as nut meat in today’s world?

I realized that only few individuals truly knew what nutmeat is.

So here you are nut meat is not really referring to the kernel of nuts such as peanut . or cashew nut.

I want you to see also that I did not say nutmeat is best to supply all the required protein. In the book I found nut meat was added with other food to make delicious recipes that could stand as meat replacement. I noticed that eggs were added to many of the recipe s.

Gluten is considered to be a protein like gelatin with very little protein value by itself as is found in white flour .This is why its use must be in combination with eggs or peas and beans.
