This vegan, gluten-free seasoning is loaded with protein, B vitamins, and essential nutrients. It’s a great way to add extra nutrition to my meals without compromising taste. Whether I’m making dairy-free mac and cheese, seasoning roasted veggies, or just enhancing my dishes, this yeast does it all. Bragg always delivers top-notch quality. The 12-ounce container lasts a long time and stays fresh with proper storage. If you’re looking for a healthy, flavorful, and versatile addition to your diet, this nutritional yeast is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it for both vegans and non-vegans alike!

While searching for a food source that would provide me with all the B vitamins that I have been taking in a pill form, I found Nutritional Yeast. It is a highly recommended source for these vitamins. I recognized the Bragg name and decided to give it a try. It does have a mild Parmesan taste and can be used like that cheese. While it can be sprinkled on top of many different foods, you can also add 1 to 2 tbs to a casserole. I have recommended this product to family and friends that prefer food to pills whenever possible.

The price is ideal for the size. Can be used in or on any dish. High quality nutritional yeast. Perfect size and texture to sprinkle on your food. Great substitute for cheese and works on any lifestyle of food consumption. Delicious and healthy.

OK, the first thing is that I don’t care what they tell you, this does not taste like Parmesan cheese. It definitely packs a Parmesan cheese, umami punch, and it’s kind of cheesy-ish in flavor, but it does not taste like Parm. That said, it is absolutely addictive.Regarding using this on popcorn, it’s great. However, if you wanted to cling to your popcorn and not have to use mountains of fat in order to get the nooch to stick to it, stick it in a blender or grinder and turn it into a powder. It works much better that way.There’s no salt in this, so when you use it, you kind of do need to use some salt with it as well. It really does amp up the flavor when you do.My two favorite ways to use this are very weird, and I understand that, but I will share with you. I love savory oats, and this is so good in them, that umami punch makes an enormous difference. I like doing savory oats with curry powder, cinnamon, cumin, celery, shallots, salt, pepper, raisins (added when there’s just one minute left of the cook time) and nooch. I also love it sprinkled on buttered whole-grain toast. As an aside, I will often just take some and shake it into the palm of my hand and lick it off because that’s how much I love the flavor.This is my first time buying this via Amazon. Usually, I just pick it up at the market, but the price at Amazon is so much better and I can get a lot more at one time with this bag. That said, this bag seals poorly once you’ve opened it. I put part of this into a shaker with large holes and the rest into a lock and lock food storage thing because honestly, that zipper on the bag does not work, at least it did not with this particular order.

I am on a pretty strict diet because of health conditions and I’m not supposed to have dairy/cheese. This is a horrible life change because I absolutely love cheese, my doctor told me that if I used nutritional yeast, I could get the taste of cheese without the actual cheese. I was a total disbeliever, and I thought they were handing me a whole load of lies, but I did buy this because the price was right And I am really unhappy without my cheese lol I tried this in a bit Vengan taco salad, and even though I know there was absolutely no cheese. I did get the cheesy taste. I was looking for. I feel bad for doubting them, it most definitely is not cheese, but I was satisfied with the flavor and I kind of tricked myself

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.
