nutritional yeast (& claravale)

[Guest guest]

I purchased Brewer's Yeast for the first time today to ensure I am

getting enough B vitamins and trace minerals. The brand is TwinLabs

and it looked like the best yeast product after I analyzed several

labels at the store. It's grown on organic grains so I doubt this

particular product is residue from beer manufacturing.

The only problem with the yeast is the taste... blech. I mixed a

tablespoon with a cup of claravale milk and could barely get it

down, much as I love the milk.

Anyone have suggestions about how to eat nutritional yeast? Does

cooking with it lower the vitamin content? I plan to try it in

yogurt but don't think I'll be eating yogurt every day. Oatmeal

isn't an option as I'm mostly gluten-free these days. Maybe lemon

juice? I suppose sugar would mask the taste but I'm trying to avoid

sugar, even fruit. Any other ideas?

Also, any news on Claravale? I wasn't able to get through to them.

The dairy person at Rainbow Grocery in SanFran said the product was

delayed but she hadn't heard anything about them pasteurizing it.

Thanks,

Daphne
