I first heard about Nutritional Yeast about 5 years ago. Nutritional yeast is a yellow flaky product that looks like flat fish food. (Sounds icky, but it tastes great!) It offers those of us who don't use animal products much a great source of vitamin B12. I am not a huge fan of cheese but I do enjoy the cheesy flavor Nutritional Yeast offers my food. I sprinkle it on my salads, we include it in our Seitan (a substitute meat product we make) and we use it in salad dressings, and many other things we eat. I will include for you several websites that I feel do a great job explaining the nutritional value of including Nutritional Yeast in your diet. There is one comment in the articles that you will read that states that purchasing Nutritional Yeast in bulk form is not the best way to purchase it due to it being exposed to the light so much. I have purchased our Nutritional Yeast for years in bulk form and we have done just great. That is our experience but you may try buying it in smaller quantities if this suits your family better.
I hope you will have an opportunity to try this wonderful and healthy food into your diet. You might want to pop a large bowl of pop-corn and sprinkle some Nutritional Yeast over it and eat this tasty and healthy snack while you read all the fun articles I shared with you! Enjoy! Here are those sites I promised you.
