Nuritional Yeast?

[halikatak]

Can someone clarify what "nutritional" yeast is?
Is it different than regular yeast?

:confused:

Nutritional yeast is completely different to Torula yeast and Brewer's yeast and regular baking yeast.

You can get it from Bob's Red Mill.

Whole Food Markets sell it in their supplement area and in their bulk foods area. I am sure if you ask at any health food store someone should know where to find it.

It's nice if a store has it in their bulk section so you can get a little and taste it to see if you like it. Some people DO NOT like it. I think it tastes a little smoky and a little cheesey and sometimes use it. I will definitely use it in the crazy bread cracker recipe.

I looove nutritional yeast..I don't think it's technically raw, but it's a living food that's grown from molasses I believe..it's high in B vitamins and amino acids...I like to sprinkle it on salads...It does have a sort of cheesy flavor, but this is coming from someone who hasn't had cheese in years, so don't expect it to be exactly like shredded cheddar or anything..haha
If you find some, try it out! :)
