Nutritional Yeast Benefits

Give an extra boost to your food with nutritional yeast. It is sold in the form of flakes or as a yellow powder and can be found in the bulk aisle of most natural food stores and your local grocery store. 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.

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. We adore it sprinkled over popcorn.

    I actually used this on spaghetti the other night. I try to avoid cheese much as I can and found this to be a great cheese alternative.

    I'll be honest, I knew close to nothing about yeast really. I love that it can be used on popcorn and cauliflower though - I am going to have to try that!

    I had never heard of that before but I need to try it, I inherited a vitamin B12 deficiency so I could definitely use some of this in my diet.
