What are Nutritional Yeast Flakes?

[Shan]

What are they? How are they used? Are they actually made of yeast? Will they make my Candida worse?

[Sheryl]

They are yeast, but they are heated to deactivate it so they won't grow in your body.

I didn't realize they were heated. Does this mean they aren't raw?

Nutritional yeast is a bi-product of molasses. It is not raw but is considered a live food. It's loaded with vitamins and the claim is that it will not make yeast problems worse.
