What are the ingredients of nutritional yeast flakes?
Nutritional yeast flakes are made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single-celled fungus. This fungus is also used as yeast in beer, wine, and bread. The difference, however, is that nutritional yeast flakes are deactivated. This means they are no longer "living" and have no leavening power.

What are the health benefits of nutritional yeast flakes?
Nutritional yeast is exceptionally healthy and packed with benefits. It's an excellent source of protein, containing all the essential amino acids your body needs. Just one tablespoon of nutritional yeast contains 2 grams of protein, making it a valuable addition if you're looking to increase your protein intake. Nutritional yeast is also rich in B vitamins and contains a variety of minerals that support your health. Discover the numerous health benefits of nutritional yeast and add it to your meals for a nutritious boost.

What is the recommended daily amount of nutritional yeast flakes?
The package recommends 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. But why limit yourself? Go for strong nails, shiny hair, and radiant skin! Nutritional yeast can be used hot or cold. Add it to your grilled cheese sandwich (yes, really!), scrambled tofu, risotto, or use it as a crispy cheese topping on your lasagna. Enjoy the versatility of nutritional yeast and experience the benefits for yourself.

How can you use nutritional yeast flakes?
Nutritional yeast flakes are versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. Sprinkle them directly from the package over pasta, salads, or soups for a delicious flavor boost. They're even delicious drizzled with olive oil on a piece of fresh bread. You can also use nutritional yeast flakes in various savory sauces, such as vegan béchamel and cheese sauce, to create a delicious cheesy flavor. Discover the many culinary possibilities of nutritional yeast flakes and give your dishes a flavorful and nutritious boost.

What are the differences between brewer's yeast and nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast, also known as nooch, is produced from brewer's yeast. The yeast is grown for several days on a substrate of glucose from sugar beets and then heated, which inactivates the yeast. This process distinguishes nutritional yeast from active brewer's yeast.

Is nutritional yeast suitable for vegetarians?
Nutritional yeast is a vegetarian option. Yeasts are microorganisms, a form of fungus, used in the fermentation process of dough, which contributes to bread's rise. Since yeasts are single-celled organisms, they are not part of the animal kingdom. Therefore, both vegetarians and vegans can enjoy both yeast and sourdough bread.
