Details

Bring a new level of savory, satisfying flavor to your vegan and vegetarian fare with this large flake fortified nutritional yeast! Nutritional yeast is made from a single-celled fungus called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is grown, harvested, and "deactivated" with heat; unlike active dry yeast or bakers yeast, this inactive yeast will not bubble up and cannot be used as a leavening agent. Instead, it's a tasty and nutritious addition to a whole host of recipes and snacks! Nutritional yeast is high in protein and Vitamin B12, a nutrient that can only be obtained by eating animal products. That makes nutritional yeast an easy and delicious way for vegans and vegetarians to get the vital nutrients they need!

Nutritional yeast is often described as having a salty, umami flavor that's comparable to cheese or nuts. That makes it a perfect way to add depth of flavor to recipes that do not contain any animal products. For an easy and tasty snack, try sprinkling nutritional yeast over your popcorn in place of butter or salt! It can also be stirred into sauces, soups, stews, risottos, or casseroles to add a "pop" of delicious flavor. Nutritional yeast can be used to make vegan "cheese" sauces that are perfect for drizzling over a plate of fresh nachos, and can be used as a substitute for Parmesan cheese when sprinkled over pasta or blended into a fresh herb pesto. You can even try using it to make delicious vegan mac 'n' cheese or stirring it into a tofu scramble to mimic the savory flavor of scrambled eggs! Get creative with this nutritional yeast and use it to create memorable dishes that will have your customers coming back over and over again. This large 5 lb. supply will keep you well-stocked for all of your culinary needs!

Adds a very nice nutritional bonus to whatever you add it to. Doesn't really have a distinct flavor
