Japanese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Coined by Japanese philosopher George Ohsawa in 1961. Ohsawa also occasionally used the kanji term 生蛋 from 生 (“fresh; raw”) and 蛋, the first character in 蛋白 (tanpaku, “protein”).[1]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
Usage notes[edit]
Due to the potential of confusion with homophones (see せいたん), the term グルテンミート (guruten mīto) is more commonly used.
Synonyms[edit]
- グルテンミート (guruten mīto): literally, “gluten meat”
