I kind of like the taste of it mixed into juice, and

sprinkled on popcorn. But neither one of those masks

the taste, just are compatible.

No news from me, I didn't get a human when I called,

but left a message.

The best yeast is Frontier. Twin Labs contains MSG. Sally

Preparation methods for nutritional yeast:

* Mix into dark (sourdough!) bread recipes...

* Mix into dark savory gravies, soups, spreads, etc

* Check vegan recipe sites for faux cheese sauces using nutritional

yeast as the basis; they would tend to use it on pasta, but you can

use it in a variety of ways...

* Mix with ground meat for recipes (this also works for liver if you

don't like the taste of liver on its own)

Keep in mind that the flavor of nutritional yeast pairs well with the

following flavors (these are just a few to get you going):

Garlic, rosemary, beer, many cheeses, " toasty " grain flavors, beef,

etc. I don't think it pairs very well with fruit, but the intensity

of flavor in many smoothie recipes can hide moderate amounts of yeast

as well.
