About Deactivated yeast

Deactivated yeast, often known as nutritional yeast, is a versatile food product derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast. Unlike active yeast used for baking, it is inactive and comes in flakes, granules, or powder form. Popular in vegan and vegetarian cuisine, nutritional yeast is celebrated for its nutty, cheesy flavor, making it a staple in dishes like sauces, popcorn, and plant-based cheese alternatives. Naturally rich in B vitamins, protein, and fiber, it is a nutrient-dense option for those seeking to enhance their diet. Many fortified varieties also include vitamin B12, an essential nutrient commonly lacking in vegan diets. Low in fat and free from dairy and gluten, it supports a wide range of dietary needs. However, as it is high in purines, people with gout or related conditions may need to limit consumption.
