Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning - Vegan, Gluten Free - Good Source Of Protein And Vitamins - Nutritious And Tasty Parmesan Cheese Substitute (Original, 12 Ounces (Pack of 1))

Very good quality brewers yeast, aka nutritional yeast. I have used this on my popcorn for over 35 years. Great price too!

This is my go to for flavoring pastas, green bean’s, potatoes, soup’s and so on. So tasty and great health benefits too. Get the vitamin B source and it’s vegan/gf. The value of the size, texture, taste, sodium content, is worth the purchase. I’ll reorder again, highly recommend. As you can see, I made triple the amount from the last holiday and it didn’t even last two hours.

I do a lot of cooking and am always looking for different recipes to give me ideas to vary our diet. I am also into healthy foods and avoid GMO products as much as possible. Braggs has become a brand I trust since I use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar which is totally non-GMO whereas many vinegars are made using GMO soy. I very much believe that "you are what you eat". My husband and I are both in our late 70's, and neither of us have any health issues nor are we taking any medications at all. I recently came across a recipe that called for nutritional yeast, which I had not heard of, so I did some research on it. I found that although nutritional yeast is used as a seasoning, it contains protein and a number of B vitamins that most diets are deficient in. It should be noted here that B vitamins are an addition to some brands of nutritional yeast, but not all brands include them. Bragg Nutritional yeast does include the B vitamins, including vitamin B12 which seems to be the vitamin many are deficient in. Not all brands of nutritional yeast contain all of the vitamins and minerals that this one does. You should check what is included in any other brand you might consider. The main benefits of this nutritional yeast are: - Protein. Nutritional yeast contains all nine essential amino acids that you must obtain from food. It’s also a source of high quality plant protein - B vitamins. Fortified nutritional yeast is especially rich in B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and B6 and B12 - Trace minerals. These include zinc, selenium, manganese, and molybdenum, which are involved in gene regulation, metabolism, growth, and immunity - Provides a tasty way to add B vitamins and trace minerals to food without taking more pills. - A great way to thicken creamed soups or other recipes that thinned after freezing. As for uses of nutritional yeast, you can use it: - as a seasoning for popcorn, pasta, salad, or casserole dishes - as an umami flavor in soups, stews, or chili - as a savory, cheesy flavor in vegan sauces - as a thickener for soups and sauces - as an ingredient in smoothies - as an addition to any recipe already containing cheese, ie. macaroni and cheese. Can't have too much cheese, right? Personally, I am open to using products that add health value to foods. Tonight, we had homegrown steamed scarlet kale for a veggie, and I mixed 2 tsp. of this nutritional yeast into the kale after steaming and adding some butter. The recommended amount for a serving is 2 tbsp. but I was conservative since the seasoning is new to me. My husband didn't taste a difference, but I tasted a hint of cheese. I will add more to the next veggies we have since I did like the flavor it added to the greens. Although the flavor of the seasoning, depending on how much you use, is subtle, the additional B vitamins added to foods is much better than having to take daily pill supplements. I will likely be using this as a seasoning to add flavor and B vitamins to the greens I grow and use as sides. I do like the flavor it adds and will be experimenting with adding it to other foods and recipes. I will update this review as I gain more experience in using this healthy seasoning. I am all for anything that adds nutritional benefits to to foods we eat. Personally, I don't see a benefit over the original blend as the garlic is not at all noticeable. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Great product at a good price. Product had a great cheesy taste, and it did not have any lumps.

I often buy Bragg Nutritional Yeast because it’s flavorful and versatile. Adds a cheesy, nutty taste to popcorn, pasta, sauces, and salads. Rich in B-vitamins, it’s perfect for plant-based cooking. Easy to sprinkle, non-GMO, and enhances meals naturally. A pantry essential I always keep stocked.
