I have purchased Nutritional Food Yeast for years, and Bob's Red Mill is the best. I use it to make "cheese" sauces or to add flavor to all sorts of savory foods. Nutritional Yeast is loaded with B vitamins and is a great food for taste and health. Even my meat-eating husband loves it in recipes I make. Nutritional Food Yeast is also cheaper and healthier than cheese. A great food.
Healthy and Great Tasting Product November 29, 2008 Robert Paterson (New York, NY, USA)
I have been using nutritional yeast for years, almost every single day, and it not only tastes great but is incredibly nutritious. Our three year old son loves it, and especially likes sprinkling it on pasta--I think he feels empowered, and little does he know that he's literally sprinkling nutrition on his food. You can sprinkle this on popcorn or other snack foods to impart a cheesy taste, add a tablespoon to smoothies, pasta sauce, bread, or just about any other savory food. If you're looking for a cookbook with recipes that use this, try The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook. It's a little hipped out, but there's a recipe for nutritional yeast cheese that's pretty amazing. There's also The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes, but I would try the Farm cookbook first. Lastly, these are large flakes, but Frontier Coop online offers 1 pound bags of Nutritional Yeast "mini flakes" which have a finer consistency and sprinkle well from a container with tiny holes (like the kind used to sprinkle powdered sugar). Frontier's prices are also very reasonable, and they offer organic nutritional yeast as well.
Vegan Chicken or Cheese flavor November 16, 2008 Kimberly D. Burke (ohio)
This product is cheaper than in stores or other brands. The flavor is tangy. I use it in all of my cheese replacements and soups for nutrition and a tangy chicken flavor replacement.
Very tastey...and my cat agrees! September 16, 2008 Evalina (Palma Sola, FL USA)
This is one of the best tasting nutritional yeasts products I've ever tasted and I've been using nutritional yeast for over 30 years. I am vegan and use yeast for its cheesey, nutty flavor. Bob's is guaranteed gluten free as well! One of my favorite meals is a gluten free pasta tossed with a little flax or extra virgin olive oil, Bragg's liquid aminos and Bob's yeast. I really love it so many ways but interestingly enough I use it more for my 10 year old cat than myself these days! She has adored nutritional yeast since she was a kitten and I sprinkle a generous amount on her kibble every day. It's also very useful sprinkled atop any food I might have to coax her to eat when she is being finnicky. I've always been told that all cats and dogs should have nutritional yeast in their diet to help keep fleas away. Regardless, animals love it so why not give them the extra good nutrition? Amazon's is an excellent buy too, even less expensive than buying bulk at the health food store. So treat yourself and your pets to delicious, high quality, good nutrition!
good product/good buy July 21, 2008 Patricia A. Clark (Long Beach, CA USA)
This food yeast is easy to use and at a reasonable price. I sprinkle it on popcorn, or put it in soups.
