NOW Supplements, Nutritional Yeast Flakes, Fortified, 10 oz

I recently moved and couldn't find a store that sold nutritional yeast in my new town. My previous town sold it in bulk and it came in large flakes. My bottle arrived today and I was immediately disappointed that it was more like granules than flakes because I liked the flaky texture better and I have sensory issues. I was making calabacitas con queso and decided to add about half a tablespoon to the mix and it was an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!! The flavour blended in PERFECTLY as a middle note to complement the spice of jalapenos and cayenne, mixed with the earthy flavor of cumin and the creaminess of the mozzarella on top. It didn't have an overpowering smell and it didn't change the colour of my veggies despite how much I put in. I was impressed with how much product I got for the listed price because When I did finally find a local store that carried it, it was half the size of this product but twice the price! This might be my new favorite brand for nutritional yeast and if I weren't so full from lunch, I would be in the kitchen cooking more food to put this on!

We originally started buying Now brand nutritional yeast because it was one of the B-12 fortified brands that reportedly did not contain hazardous levels of lead. We have not, of course, analyzed the contents ourselves but are now in the habit of buying it because of the taste.It has such an amazing nutty, cheesy flavor, I find myself reaching for it to make sauces, add flavor to soup, add dimension to veggie stock (it will turn stock from clear to cloudy), top pasta, and more. Want something extra yummy for a sandwich? Stir Now Nutritional Yeast Flakes and a couple of crushed capers into Veganaise to turn a sandwich into a special occasion.As an added bonus, it adds a wonderful salty taste to food despite the fact it contains a measly 5mg of sodium in a serving. (I keep checking the label because I can’t believe it doesn’t contain salt!) It also adds a lot of flavor to salads, scrambled tofu, beans, and whatnot.But you certainly don’t have to be a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy it! Toss it on pizza, stir it in a casserole, or sprinkle it on soup if you or a family member needs a little extra protein and B-12. Sometimes we even put it in a shaker with granulated garlic and dried herbs and set it out by our pasta bowl so guest can try it as a pasta topping.Have fun and enjoy!

As vegetarians, we are constantly thinking about how we can add vitamins and minerals to our food and our daughters' food.We started using nutritional yeast regularly after reading Scott Jurek's book "Eat and Run" about his long-distance running and vegan diet. In his book, he has a simple recipe for popcorn that he sprinkles nutritional yeast onto. Now, when we make popcorn for our kids, we pour in a little olive oil and a little nutritional yeast. They love it! My oldest daughter loves to get the yeast all over her hands and lick them.Because the yeast has a cheesy flavor, we add it to tons of foods as a cheese substitute or just to add some more vitamins along with the cheese. Yesterday, I made macaroni and cheese and added about a quarter cup of the yeast along with tofu and cheese to boost protein and nutrients. We also add it to things like broccoli and salads.Because we use nutritional yeast frequently, getting a good quality brand at a good price is important to us. This was the best of both of those that I could find. Great deal on a super-healthy product!My only complaint is that the jar is kind of big so it doesn't quite fit in our wire rack storage system that's on the back of our kitchen door. I have to transfer it to a Mason jar just so I can keep our little kitchen organized.

This are not an overpowering taste. I add it to anything, my smoothies, over salads or as someone else said...on popcorn. Great idea that one was! It can be cheesy flavor on popcorn or salads. it gives a real boost in energy but not hyper and has made a noticeable difference in my weight loss efforts (also include MCT Oil!! That is also a real boost)Things I have noticed taking the Nutritional Yeast Flakes:* Energy boost* Holy crap does my hair and nails grow!!!* I'm more relaxed!* I am sleeping better than I have in a very long timeI came across this recipe on MindBodyGreen.com sometime ago and I just LOVE this recipe!!Here’s one of the easiest recipes in the world and it’ll wow your dinner guests as well.1 head cauliflower1T olive oil1t black sesame seeds1/4c nutritional yeastPreheat your oven to 350.Take all the ingredients and drop them in a mixing bowl.Toss it with your hands until all is coated.Spread on a cooking sheet with parchment paper or foil and cook for about 20-25 minutes.Cauliflower should be a golden light brown. THAT’S IT!Popcorn: (by the way popcorn is not GMO as regular corn is. Not yet anyway!)Nutritional Yeast PopcornIngredients½ cup popcorn kernels2 tbsp. coconut oil1 tbsp. nutritional yeastI use Himalayan salt, Plenty of it. It doesn't mess with blood pressure btw (wheat does more than salt!)I also use the "Stir Crazy" popcorn popper. LOVE that popper!Once the popcorn is popped we put it in a paper bag and put the N yeast and salt it with the popcorn and shake the bag around to mix well. Neat trick.

Not as flaky as I like but it does have a real good cheese flavor.

Impressed with the NOW Nutritional Yeast Flakes. The high vitamin content makes it a fantastic multivitamin substitute, and has a cheesy, nutty flavor suitable for dairy free dishes. Also good if you're a vegetarians or have dairy allergies. Some would prefer Bragg's Nutritional Yeast since they might have a slight edge in quality, but NOW’s is a lot more affordable and added B vitamins is a strong selling point. In smaller servings, it helps avoid vitamin toxicity and remains a staple for its nutritional value.

So many uses for this. I use it on everything from popcorn to spaghetti and salads.

Good quality nutritional yeast at a good price!

Excellent au goût, goût de parmesan, me permet de limiter le sel. J’adore

These are smaller in size versus other brands, but it tastes good, and still goes well with things like salad. Gives a nice cheesy taste but it's vegan.

Great product, I liked it much

Good product

Gostei, bem saboroso. Adoro comer de manhã com ovos mexidos.
