About this deal

Nutritional yeast flakes are made from ‘non-live’ powdered yeast known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae,which when ‘alive’ is used to make beer and bread. Nutritional yeast is the cheesy-tasting cousin to brewer’s and baker’s yeast that has gained popularity in recent years alongside the rising interest in plant-based diets. Protein. Nutritional yeast contains all nine essential amino acids that you must obtain from food. It’s also a source of high quality plant protein ( 2). Not only that, but it is also a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot create, and we usually have to source from food, just like meat, fish, dairy and soy. 15 Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is an excitotoxin that literally overexcites your cells and is known to cause several adverse effects—it's also is a synthetic flavor enhancer added to many processed foods. Sari Foods Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast is naturally grown, 100% yeast with no fortification of synthetic additives, including MSG.

Yeast products contain tyramine, an amino acid that helps regulate blood pressure. While it’s uncommon, tyramine may trigger headaches in people who experience migraines. However, nutritional yeast is an inactivated version, which means that, if you tried to use it to make bread or beer, it wouldn’t work well and would likely be too bitter to enjoy. Comparison with other types of yeast One tablespoon of the fortified flakes contains 600-1000% of the recommended daily intake of B vitamins – pretty impressive, eh! 8

But others appreciate the addition of a hard-to-get nutrient in a food that already has naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes that can help with the absorption of B12. How Is It Used? When it comes to nutritional yeast, there are options available that can make it function as a mix-in, an add-in, or a topping. Between powders, large flakes, and mini flakes, there is likely one that will enhance your dish rather than just being something thrown in for health reasons. BarBend Tips Getting enough vitamin B12 in your diet helps you avoid feeling tired.
