Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Can anyone explain to me what nutritional yeast is? I've been a vegetarian for over 10 years and just new to becoming a vegan. I have come across this " nutritional yeast " in a lot of recipes and saying it's a good substitute for cheese. I understand it's high in B complex, which is always good, but I guess I'm not quite understanding exactly what it is. Is there a simple small recipe that someone can suggest so I can give it a try without wasting a lot of food? Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 nutritional yeast is yeast, generally beer yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that is usually grown on molasses. it is dried and sold as flakes, powder or the like. easily fond in the bulk section of supermarkets. bcoffthegrid Feb 16, 2010 11:56 PM Nutritional Yeast Can anyone explain to me what nutritional yeast is?I've been a vegetarian for over 10 years and just new to becoming a vegan.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think we don't have recipes using nutritional yeast in the UK. It is brewer's yeast in flake form - very good source of all the vitamins B. We can get it here in tablet or powder form.

It was great on rice. One of these days I'll have to make a new batch. If you can buy nutritional yeast in bulk, you can get just a little to start. You can just sprinkle a little on rice, vegs, or even popcorn. I think it's best used as a condiment, not in larger doses. The nutritional yeast that I've used is available as a fine yellow powder or yellow flakes. It includes vitamin B-12. At least in the U.S., it's different from the brownish granular brewer's yeast, which I haven't used. Some years ago, I knew people who were making some " cheese " recipes based on cashews. As far as I can recall, it was edible, but then I've never been a fan of cheese in any guise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Well, am I ever glad I asked. See, I had no idea it was the same thing as Brewer's yeast. I actually have some of this that I sprinkle over my dogs' food, or used to and then it got pushed to the back of the cupboard in the dog feeding room, LOL. I will dig it out again and sprinkle some of it on my food too. Sometimes I can be such an idiot, LOL. Thanks everyone.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 It's not the same as brewer's yeast, which is a by-product of beer brewing; it's grown on molasses as you said, but has nothing to do with beer.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Gotta love the Kingdom Fungi! Well, the ones that don't grow over you if you stay still too long, anyway. What we call "nutritional yeast" is the same species of unicellular fungus that makes bread rise and beer ferment. The only difference is how it's grown and processed. It gets its interesting flavor from the medium it's grown on, which is molasses-based. Then, it's dried and processed into flakes or powder. The organism itself is killed in the process. A lot of vegan recipes use it. It's said to have a cheesy flavor. I love the sauce recipes in The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, by Joanne Stepaniak. There's a no-cook sauce that's tangy and tastes wonderful on broccoli, baked potatoes, pasta, you name it. It's called "I can't believe it's not cheese sauce." IMO, it doesn't taste at all like cheese. It's much better! It has a wonderful flavor all its own.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm familiar with miso, but have never seen chickpea miso. Those are my favorite beans so I'd like it.Patricia--- On Sat, 2/20/10, Dena Jo <DenaJo2 wrote:Dena Jo <DenaJo2Re: Re: Nutritional Yeast Date: Saturday, February 20, 2010, 2:04 PM If you check out the miso section of your local natural food stores, you'll find different kinds of miso. Chickpea miso apparently is one of them. I've never used, but I kind of like the thought of it. Dena - Patricia Saturday, February 20, 2010 2:51 PM Re: Re: Nutritional Yeast Thanks, i found it. One question, though, what is chickpea miso? I've never heard of that.Patricia--- On Sat, 2/20/10, Dena Jo <DenaJo2 > wrote: Dena Jo <DenaJo2 >Re: Re: Nutritional Yeast@gro ups.comSaturday, February 20, 2010, 1:25 PM You can search inside the book on Amazon.

Well, the ones that don't grow over you if you stay still too long, anyway. What we call "nutritional yeast" is the same species of unicellular fungus that makes bread rise and beer ferment. The only difference is how it's grown and processed. It gets its interesting flavor from the medium it's grown on, which is molasses-based. Then, it's dried and processed into flakes or powder. The organism itself is killed in the process.A lot of vegan recipes use it. It's said to have a cheesy flavor. I love the sauce recipes in The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, by Joanne Stepaniak. There's a no-cook sauce that's tangy and tastes wonderful on broccoli, baked potatoes, pasta, you name it. It's called "I can't believe it's not cheese sauce." IMO, it doesn't taste at all like cheese. It's much better! It has a wonderful flavor all its own.Cheers,Trish-- Trish Carrhttp://home. comcast.net/ ~bantrymoon/Is there Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2699 - Release 02/20/10 00:34:00 -----Inline Attachment Follows----- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2699 - Release 02/20/10 00:34:00 Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2699 - Release 02/20/10 00:34:00 -----Inline Attachment Follows-----Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 9.0.733 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2699 - Release 02/20/10 00:34:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks Trish for the book suggestion. I'm going to look for it. You're very knowledgeable about nutritional yeast!! I appreciate you sharing that with me as I had no clue whatsoever what it was. Thanks again to everyone else who has chimed in as well. I will be looking for it.
