Marigold makes the Engevita nutritional yeast flakes that have been a health food staple for decades, along with bouillon and stocks. The range includes Engevita Yeast Flakes and Organic Engevita. Free UK delivery on orders over £40 from Quickvit.
Marigold is best known for Engevita, the nutritional yeast flakes that turn up in vegan cooking as a savoury, cheesy seasoning. It has been on health food shelves for decades and remains the reference product in the category.
The wider range covers bouillon powders and stocks, including reduced-salt and vegan versions.
Engevita comes in the standard and organic versions, plus a fortified variety with added B12 — worth knowing if you follow a plant-based diet, since B12 is the nutrient it most commonly lacks.
The bouillon powders cover vegetable and other stocks in regular, reduced-salt and organic versions.
We have sold Engevita since our earliest days and keep all the versions, including the fortified one, which is the one people most often come in specifically for.
Free UK delivery on orders over £40, with orders placed before midday Monday to Friday aimed for same-day dispatch.

Use it as a seasoning rather than an ingredient: stirred through pasta, over popcorn, into sauces, or as the savoury base of a vegan cheese sauce. It does not need cooking.
Not all versions are fortified with B12 — check the pack if that is why you are buying it. Store the tub sealed in a cool, dry cupboard; the flakes take up moisture and clump if left open.

Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes — it is a common ingredient in vegan cooking for its savoury flavour.
How do I use it?
As a seasoning: over pasta or popcorn, or stirred into sauces. It does not need cooking.
How should I store it?
