About Nutritional flakes

Nutritional flakes, often referred to as nutritional yeast, are a versatile, nutrient-dense ingredient popular in plant-based and vegan cuisines. These golden-yellow flakes are derived from deactivated yeast, typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cultured on molasses or sugarcane. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, they are especially renowned for their high content of B-complex vitamins, including B12 when fortified, as well as protein and fiber. Nutritional flakes have a savory, cheesy, and nutty flavor, making them a favorite for enhancing soups, sauces, and snacks like popcorn. They're free from dairy, gluten, and added sugars, making them suitable for various dietary needs. While rich in nutrients, those watching sodium intake should check labels, as some varieties contain added salt. Whether sprinkling them on dishes or blending them into recipes, they’re a wholesome choice for boosting flavor and nutrition.
