Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Whats the scoop on nutritional yeast ? I know some women like it for better hair and fingernails. Its a good source of B vites ? If its good what brands are best ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 The info I found says it is deactivated yeast. It says that it's a commercially produced yeast. I'm still uneasy about ingesting it until I know more. How can deactivated yeast be that nutritious, and be natural - like a bundle of kale? I'm not against eating it, I just don't know enough about it, it sounds like any other processed thing they are calling food. I am sooo open to being wrong, Hahahaha.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I like to use it on my raw kale chips. I coat the kale pieces lightly with olive oil, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. Then I pop the kale into the dehydrator on 115 for about 3 hours. :-) Carol > > I got some yesterday at the health food store and would love some good ideas.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Oh, my - I LOVE the stuff! I love it on popcorn, on cooked brown rice, on steamed veggies. I make broccoli and cauliflower soup with my VM and add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. I swear, could eat the stuff by the spoonful, lol! I love it so much, I just bought a book from Amazon to learn other ways to use it (just got the book, haven't tried any recipes yet, but will do so this weekend). I can't think of the title offhand, but I think it has "Uncheese" in the title...FrannyOn May 4, 2012, at 5:28 AM, flnancy1958 wrote: I got some yesterday at the health food store and would love some good ideas.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yeah, don't let your husband near it, mine dumps it on much of his food and salads, says it tastes like cheese and I keep having to go back to store for more.
