Nutritional yeast flakes 100% pure organic Organic nutritional yeast flakes are made from a single-celled fungus. The same fungus is used to make beer, wine, and bread, but the difference is that nutritional yeast is inactivated and therefore cannot rise. Nutritional yeast grows on and feeds on molasses. The yeast feeds on a soft substance that is dried and ground into nutritional yeast flakes or nutritional yeast powder. Because organic nutritional yeast is a dried, inactive yeast, it is an ideal product for use in a yeast-free diet.

Usage Organic nutritional yeast flakes have a savory, cheesy-nutty flavor and can be used in both cold and hot dishes as a nutritious seasoning. Many vegans use nutritional yeast as a vegan cheese substitute. In terms of taste and texture, nutritional yeast is most similar to Parmesan cheese. You can also use nutritional yeast flakes in sauces, soups, and purees. It's recommended to stir the nutritional yeast flakes into the dish only at the very end. Heating nutritional yeast flakes can destroy the nutrients.
