Nutritional Yeast Flakes by NOW FOODS is nutritional yeast in flake form, made from dried yeast and fortified with additional B vitamins. It is a food that is mixed into drinks or used as a recipe ingredient.
The maker lists the tan flakes as vegan and vegetarian; they are stirred into milk, juice, shakes or recipes.
These flakes come from a specially selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a primary grown yeast, cultivated under controlled conditions, so it is not a brewery by-product in the way brewer's yeast is. Two level tablespoons supply 35 calories and 5 g of protein, along with the B vitamins listed below.
Which liquids are the yeast flakes stirred into?
The directions name milk, fruit juice and vegetable juice; the flakes can also go into vegetarian recipes or protein shakes.
How does this nutritional yeast differ from brewer's yeast?
It is a primary grown yeast rather than a by-product of a brewery, which is what brewer's yeast is.
How much of the flakes makes up one serving?
One serving is 2 level tablespoons, about 9 g, used once a day.
Ingredients: Dry yeast (non-genetically modified), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1), folic acid and vitamin B12.
