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.
