About Nutrional yeast
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast often used as a seasoning or ingredient in plant-based cooking. Known for its savory, cheesy, and nutty flavor, it comes in flakes, granules, or powder form. Nutritional yeast is rich in protein, fiber, and B vitamins, including B12 if fortified, making it a popular choice for vegans and vegetarians. It also contains essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, supporting overall health. Originating as a byproduct of brewing, it has become a key ingredient in vegan and health-conscious cuisines worldwide. Nutritional yeast is low in calories and free from fats, sugars, and gluten, making it a beneficial addition to many diets. However, it should be consumed in moderation as its high purine content can pose risks for those prone to gout or kidney issues. Its umami profile makes it a versatile topping for soups, salads, pastas, and more.
