nutrional yeast does anyone here know anything about it?
I am very low on vitamin b and my husband showed me a article saying nutritional yeast is the best way to get it. Has anyone here tried it or heard anything about it?

I use it everyday as my go to salad seasoning. I keep a jar of it mixed up with some spices like chilipowder, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika etc. put a scoop on my big lunch salad with olive oil and vinegar and stir well to blend. It's also good in other dressings and sauces giving them a 'cheese' like flavour.
High in protein, as well. A tablespoon has 9 grams. |
I appreciate the "cheesy" taste too, especially when I'm off dairy products for one reason or another. Those herb/seasoning ideas sound yummy! :yum:

For the record, most animal foods are excellent sources of vitamin B12 and other B vitamins .. especially egg yolks, liver, red meat and cheese/yogurt. Plant foods do not contain any B12, so nutritional yeast is often recommended as a supplement for vegans & vegetarians :idea:. |
My co-op, which sells it in bulk, claims the 9gr. of protein, but in googling, I see the values are all over the place. So are the carb numbers >sigh<
|
Is there any reaction from the body to ingesting that much yeast?

As for yeast-related health problems, I suppose if a person has known sensitivity to yeasts / fungi (including mushrooms) then it might be prudent to avoid consuming nutritional yeast even though it's been de-activated :idea: Here's an article about nutritional yeast, written from a Paleo perspective .. http://janeshealthykitchen.com/nutritional-yeast/ hth :rose: |
Interesting Doreen, Thank you!
|
I am going to pick some up today. I am not big on dairy or fish or red meat so I guess its not so suprising I ended up being low on b.
|
I don't know much about nutritional yeast, but I love it. When I ate a lot of carbs, I would sprinkle it on my popcorn. Now I put in salad dressing & fish patties.
|
I eat Marigold Engevita yeast flakes with B12 daily on my avocado salad. First heard of nutritional flakes from Terry Wahls. I have never looked into how well the B bits in it are absorbed.
|
I give Brewer's Yeast to my cats on their food. It does wonders for them.
