Kal - Nutritional Yeast Flakes 22 Oz.

I like the taste but price is higher than competition

I tried this to supplement my diet since I rarely eat meat. I'm not an expert on the nutritional value, but I got used to the taste very quickly, and made drinking a glass part of my daily routine. I haven't seen a cheaper option elsewhere, so I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Yummmmmmm.......this stuff is seriously good in soups, salads, mashed potatoes, etc!!! Just add a touch of oil and salt to the mix and it is scrumptious!! I have a hard time holding back from using scoop after scoop of savory cheesy flavor. I really don't miss cheese much at all after not eating it anymore, especially having stuff like this around! There are also yummy vegan cheese recipes online made using nutritional yeast. Casein in cheese is addictive, which is why a lot of people want to eat cheese so much. Dairy is acidic and actually leaches calcium/minerals from our bones and cheese is of course fattening and full of cholesterol-not to mention the cruelty involved with so many dairy farms. It might take a little getting used to for those not used to it, but well worth it! It's super high in B vitamins-think energy, mood support, skin and hair health among other things. It's an excellent source of B12 and selenium, etc. which are vital to make sure you get reliable bio-available sources since soil where it would normally come from is often depleted of it. Non vegans often don't get enough either. I notice after eating a few tbs. of this my pee is bright yellow (maybe too much information). I also notice my mood and overall energy is better when this happens. Only wish it was organic ;)

Delicious and nutritious! Was exactly what Amazon made me expect and the container was very sturdy and allows for good storing.

After seeing yeast flakes in a TV health program, I bought some in bulk from WF and liked them so well, I decided to try these. The container is huge and will last a long time. It is more economical to buy them this way, far easier to store and I feel like the quality will be more consistent. The health program showed them being sprinkled on popcorn so I tried that and found the addition so delicious, I started using them lots of places. I've sprinkled them on steamed vegetables, over the top of cheese biscuits, on salad and pasta to name but a few possibilities. They really enhance the flavor as well as providing great vitamin B. Years ago my mother routinely ate yeast cubes that tasted awful, but she lived to 96. She was a health foody before her time. I've never been game for those dreadful cubes, but this is an option that tastes great in a cheesy, sort of nutty way. Since the flavor tastes a bit salty, I've found I can reduce the amount of salt I use as well--added benefit. Although this container will hold me for quite a while, I'll definitely rebuy.

My girlfriend and I love this stuff. She puts some on her salad every day. We use it with ground sesame seed 50/50 as a topping in place of parmesan and for popcorn. The best use of it so far though is for delicious cheese sauces. We make up about a quart and a half of cheese sauce by using a cup and a half of this with tofu, oil, garlic powder, soy sauce and paprika. Pour it over a pound of cooked noodles like macaroni and bake it for a while and you have rich mac and "cheese". When I'm eating lots of this Nutritional yeast I notice feeling more energetic. It's loaded with B vitamins and protein. Check vegweb for the actual recipe. I think it's "Best mac and cheese in the world, seriously" or something like that. I also use it for a breakfast scramble. Just fry up the potatoes, onions, peppers and whatever you want, then pour on some sauce and let it cook down for a minute or two. Delicious! Some people find something a bit funny about the taste of Nutritional Yeast. But like most things, if you don't go in with an expectation of how it should taste (many people are expecting cheese), you may really like it. I find that it's a more pungent style of cheese like flavor like a sharp cheddar. The KAL brand is excellent also. It's essentially the same strain of yeast that is sold under other labels. Red Star Nutitional Yeast 40240 "vegetarian support formula" from what I've gathered. Which is usually considered the best tasting variety.
