Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I have tended to buy my nutritional yeast in the canisters. I like the flavor and powderized texture of Lewis Labs brand. However, as you say, it costs considerably more. The things that have kept me away from the bulk bin for nutritional yeast is they come as flakes and there's no nutritional information. This latter point is important, as my understanding is the B12 and amino acid profile can vary considerably depending on the growth medium. -Erin , " linda " <lindai81@c...> wrote: > > Oh, no, bought the nutritional yeast from the bin at Market of Choice, but then put it into a jar at home. Everything gets transferred to a jar here. Including children and animals. LOL They had some in a canister over in the health section to the tune of one arm and six legs. LOL I am not into throwing money out the window though. > linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 if you talk to the people that stock it, they can show you the nutritional info from the bigger bags/boxes whatever of the product. ~Mel --- cronzen <truepatriot wrote: > I have tended to buy my nutritional yeast in the > canisters. > I like the flavor and powderized texture of Lewis > Labs brand. > > However, as you say, it costs considerably more. > The things > that have kept me away from the bulk bin for > nutritional yeast > is they come as flakes and there's no nutritional > information. > This latter point is important, as my understanding > is the B12 > and amino acid profile can vary considerably > depending on the > growth medium. > > > -Erin > > > , " linda " > <lindai81@c...> > wrote: > > > > Oh, no, bought the nutritional yeast from the bin > at Market of > Choice, but then put it into a jar at home. > Everything gets > transferred to a jar here.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 That is a great idea, Mel. Have you ever compared the bulk bin nutri-yeast info with that on the canister brands? ~ pt ~ Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they do when they stick together. ~ Verna M.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I asked at my store before buying the nutritional yeast from the bin what brand it was. And they told me Red Star which is the brand most named in the vegan books that are suggesting using it. It is also the brand sold at our health store, So, that felt fairly safe. My store has the flakes and the powder. I was told to just whirl the flakes in the blender for the powder if you need it that way. The only thing that surprised me and maybe concerns me a bit is that I thought the stuff should be refrigerated and of course coming from the bins it isn't....anyone know? linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 They sell the redstar nutritional yeast in the bulk bins at Central Market in Austin. They actually put the nutritional info on the bins, however at home they do not and I asked so he brought it out. That kind did NOT have B12 in it. I am glad I checked. The Redstar stuff is available in jars too but at a much higher price. --- ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: > That is a great idea, Mel.

I never heard of nutritional yeast needing to be refrigerated... I hope not, cause mine's always been out on a shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
