Thanks to its many nutritional properties (including its high vitamin B12 content) as well as its taste similar to cheese and roasted nuts, nutritional yeast is the seasoning of the hour! Find out more about these vegan, gluten-free and low in sodium flakes.
Food yeast is mainly derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This unicellular fungal micro-organism is recognized in the fields of healthy food and natural health products for its many nutritional and therapeutic properties. On the nutritional level, it has a high content of B-complex vitamins (especially vitamin B12), vitamin D, protein, fiber and amino acids. On the therapeutic side, it supports the immune, energy, muscular and integumentary systems, in addition to having prebiotic and probiotic actions. Although it is available in powder, tablet or capsule form, it is most widely consumed as flakes. In the kitchen, it can be sprinkled as a seasoning - just like salt, pepper or Parmesan cheese - on dishes (soups, salads, pasta, etc.) or added to recipes (sauces, veggie-pâtés, vegan cheeses, etc.) to improve nutritional value and taste!
