About Nutritional yeast
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast commonly used as a flavor enhancer and nutritional supplement. Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it appears as yellow flakes or powder and boasts a savory, cheese-like taste, making it popular in vegan and vegetarian dishes. Nutritional yeast is rich in B vitamins, including B12 in fortified versions, along with protein, fiber, and trace minerals like zinc and selenium. It’s low in calories and contains no added sugars or fats. Found in cuisines worldwide, it's often sprinkled on pasta, salads, or popcorn and incorporated into sauces or soups for extra depth of flavor. While generally healthy, individuals with sensitivity to glutamates or yeast products should consume in moderation. Nutritional yeast is a plant-based powerhouse for boosting daily nutrient intake while adding delicious umami to meals.
