I’ll admit, when I first heard about nutritional yeast, I was skeptical. The idea of sprinkling deactivated yeast on my food didn’t sound very appetizing. But after giving it a try, I found that it really grew on me!
Nutritional yeast is a versatile and nutritious seasoning that I personally use in many dishes. While my go-to is Bragg, any nutritional yeast can offer similar benefits. This product is an easy way to enhance the flavor of your meals while adding protein and essential B vitamins, including Vitamin B12.
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast, typically a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It’s a popular ingredient among vegans and vegetarians due to its rich nutrient profile and “cheese-like” flavor. Unlike brewer’s yeast, it’s grown specifically for its nutritional content and does not contain any brewing by-products. Bragg Nutritional Yeast is gluten-free, non-GMO, and sugar-free, and it’s fortified with B vitamins, including natural Vitamin B12. This makes it a valuable addition to any diet, especially for those looking to boost their nutrient intake without animal products. Bragg Nutritional Yeast comes in a convenient 4.5 oz bottle with a shaker top, making it easy to sprinkle on a variety of dishes.
Some people load up on Parmesan for their pasta. That’s me, but with nutritional yeast. I have to hold myself back sometimes because I tend to go overboard when I add it to my pasta. By now, the people in my orbit have come to accept the generous (and borderline excessive) number of shakes I use.
Sprinkle it on popcorn for a savory, cheesy snack that’s both healthy and satisfying. My favorite trick is to spray a few spritzes of tamari on freshly air-popped popcorn and then sprinkle nutritional yeast over it. It makes for a really delicious treat.
