About Nutritional yeast flakes
Nutritional yeast flakes, often called "nooch," are a deactivated yeast commonly used as a seasoning or dietary supplement. Made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae fungi, these golden flakes have a nutty, cheesy flavor popular in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Nutritional yeast is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including B-complex vitamins like B12, making it a great option for plant-based diets. It’s also rich in protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, and is naturally low in fat, sugar, and sodium. Originating from food and fermentation science, its umami taste makes it a versatile ingredient in recipes, from sauces and soups to popcorn toppings. While it’s generally considered healthy, consuming it in excess could lead to digestive discomfort for sensitive individuals due to its high fiber and glutamate content. Nutritional yeast is a simple way to boost flavor and nutrition in meals while supporting overall health.
