Nutritional yeast – vegan cheese flavor from the yeast cell

Nutritional yeast is an inactivated yeast, often grown on molasses, that has become popular in vegan cooking thanks to its cheesy, umami-rich flavor.

Differs from baker's yeast

Unlike baker's yeast, nutritional yeast is inactivated by heat treatment, which means it cannot ferment bread but instead works excellently as a seasoning.

What nutritional yeast contains

Nutritional yeast contains B vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12.

Usage

Sprinkle over pasta, popcorn, or salads, or mix into sauces for a cheesy flavor without dairy. Our nutritional yeast flakes are an example of how they are typically sold.
