FAQ
What does nutritional yeast taste like? Savoury, nutty and distinctly cheesy – which is why it is the usual dairy-free stand-in for grated cheese.
Is it the same as baking yeast? No. Nutritional yeast is deactivated, so it will not make bread rise – it is used purely as a seasoning and condiment.
How much B12 does it contain? 100mcg of vitamin B12 (added as cyanocobalamin) per 100g of flakes, alongside fortified B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and folic acid.
Trade note: available in 125g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 3kg pouches, plus a 25kg trade size.
