What is Nutritional Yeast

 Nutritional yeast is made from a single celled organism, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae that is grown on molasses, then harvested, washed and dried by heat to deactivate it. It is not the same as yeasts used for baking or brewing beer, and has no leavening abilities. Nutritional yeast can be purchased in flakes or powdered and lends a cheesy, savory flavour to
foods. Use it to give a cheesy flavour to your favourite snacks like roasted chickpeas, homemade crackers or air-popped popcorn. Use in mashed potatoes or on top of dishes instead
of parmesan.
Nutritional yeast is also rich in B vitamins, folic acid, selenium, zinc and protein.
