Nutritional Yeast Benefits
Nutritional yeast is packed with essential vitamins and minerals. It’s one of the best non-animal sources of folic acid and vitamin B-12. Nutritional Yeast fulfills your entire daily vitamin B needs.
Nutritional Yeast nutrition facts – On average, two tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast provides 60 calories with 5 g of carbohydrates (of which 4 g is fiber). A serving also provides 9 g of protein and is a complete protein, providing all nine amino acids the human body cannot produce. Another benefit is it is Gluten Free. I use it most places I would use Parmesan cheese. Gluten Free is something my husband and I have been researching more into for our bodies and skin.
The yeast itself is grown on beets and dehydrated. Nutritional Yeast is a superfood, packed with benefits. Sprinkle it over foods for a nutty, cheesy flavor. I adore it sprinkled over popcorn. Soy sauce and nutritional yeast are a great combination also when making a healthy salad dressing or a marinade for wings.
How to eat Nutritional Yeast – Sprinkle on your popcorn, add to salads, replace any cheese with nutritional yeast. Post coming next week with nutritional yeast recipes.

I haven’t tried nutritional yeast seasoning before. I think I saw that in the store but did not know what it was for. Now I know. Thanks for educating me about its health benefits. I am adding that to my grocery list. Oh, and thanks for the salad recipe. Looks so delicious!

Nutritional yeast is new to me although, it sounds very beneficial. Four grams of protein is a decent switch for the five carbs. I love everything in it except the hard boiled eggs and they aren’t necessary. Your salad looks delicious.
