Supplements, Nutritional Yeast Flakes, Fortified with Additional B-Vitamins, Super Food, 10-Ounce

We originally started buying Now brand nutritional yeast because it was one of the B-12 fortified brands that reportedly did not contain hazardous levels of lead. We have not, of course, analyzed the contents ourselves but are now in the habit of buying it because of the taste. It has such an amazing nutty, cheesy flavor, I find myself reaching for it to make sauces, add flavor to soup, add dimension to veggie stock (it will turn stock from clear to cloudy), top pasta, and more. Want something extra yummy for a sandwich? Stir Now Nutritional Yeast Flakes and a couple of crushed capers into Veganaise to turn a sandwich into a special occasion. As an added bonus, it adds a wonderful salty taste to food despite the fact it contains a measly 5mg of sodium in a serving. (I keep checking the label because I can’t believe it doesn’t contain salt!) It also adds a lot of flavor to salads, scrambled tofu, beans, and whatnot. But you certainly don’t have to be a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy it! Toss it on pizza, stir it in a casserole, or sprinkle it on soup if you or a family member needs a little extra protein and B-12. Sometimes we even put it in a shaker with granulated garlic and dried herbs and set it out by our pasta bowl so guest can try it as a pasta topping. Have fun and enjoy!

Yes great to cook with

Been using this for years - quality product - totally satisfied always

I recently moved and couldn't find a store that sold nutritional yeast in my new town. My previous town sold it in bulk and it came in large flakes. My bottle arrived today and I was immediately disappointed that it was more like granules than flakes because I liked the flaky texture better and I have sensory issues. I was making calabacitas con queso and decided to add about half a tablespoon to the mix and it was an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!! The flavour blended in PERFECTLY as a middle note to complement the spice of jalapenos and cayenne, mixed with the earthy flavor of cumin and the creaminess of the mozzarella on top. It didn't have an overpowering smell and it didn't change the colour of my veggies despite how much I put in. I was impressed with how much product I got for the listed price because When I did finally find a local store that carried it, it was half the size of this product but twice the price! This might be my new favorite brand for nutritional yeast and if I weren't so full from lunch, I would be in the kitchen cooking more food to put this on!

NOW natural foods and supplements are consistently high quality for a little lower price than you may be accustomed to paying. This NOW nutritional yeast gets fairly high marks on all levels. Bragg's Nutritional Yeast definitely tastes better and is even of higher quality and I have not found any nutritional yeast that beats it. That said, the NOW does taste pretty good, and it is one of the best deals out there in terms of price. Additional B Vitamins have been added. If you have Candida albicans, it has been proven that NUTRITIONAL yeast is SAFE and will not affect your Candida albicans, but if you have this condition, DO NOT ingest other yeasts such as brewer's yeast and active dry yeast used in baking. These statements are backed by science: There is a lot of information on this subject, and all reputable sources agree. NOW nutritional yeast is high quality Saccharomyces cerevisiae organisms under tightly controlled conditions, and the Red Star Yeast Company LLC is referenced on the NOW container. All in all, this is good nutritional yeast and gets a lot of 5-star reviews on Amazon, but it does not beat Bragg's. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food And Drugs Administration, and I am not a medical professional.

As far as I'm aware it's considered a food when it comes to regulation so it's one of the few really regulated by the FDA. It also has a ton of different vitamins in it so it works as a multivitamin. Has cheesy flavors, you know what the means? If you're non-lacto vegetarian then you just found yourself a ingredient for a cheese alternative. Really good, I only use half of a serving because if you check the back you'll see the serving size of 2 spoons also doubles-quadruples the daily recommended intake. Avoid vitamin toxicity people! At the very least spread it out throughout the day for bioavailability. Funny thing to mention, now I haven't bought it but assuming you're only eating half a serving a day that 10 pounds bag would last you almost 3 years.

This tastes great. Put 1/4 cup on oatmeal. Thinking of other ways to use it.

Best price. Transfer it to a smaller container and keep it in the fridge if you’re tight on space. Sprinkle it over everything.
