Yeast flakes, commonly known as nutritional yeast, are a deactivated yeast made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Popular in vegan and vegetarian cuisines, these golden flakes offer a nutty, cheesy flavor and are often used as a seasoning or a dairy-free alternative in recipes. Packed with nutrients, yeast flakes are a rich source of B-vitamins, including B12 in fortified varieties, and provide protein, fiber, and essential minerals like zinc and magnesium. They are naturally low in fat and sugar, making them a healthy addition to various dishes. Originating as a byproduct of brewing, yeast flakes are cultivated and processed to ensure they contain no active yeast, making them suitable for consumption without contributing to yeast growth in the body. Ideal for enhancing savory flavors, they bring nutritional benefits without compromising taste, though individuals with sensitivities to yeast should consume them in moderation.
