View full detailsNutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast, grown and then dried into flakes. It is not baking yeast and will not raise anything – the two are not interchangeable.
The taste is savoury and faintly cheesy, which is why it turns up in almost every dairy-free recipe going. Stirred into a white sauce or scattered over pasta it does a convincing job.
Some Engevita is fortified with B12 and some is not, and the difference matters if that is why you are buying it. The organic version is unfortified; the added-B12 versions say so on the tub.
Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. If you eat no animal food, a reliable B12 source matters – and sprinkling flakes by eye is less reliable than a supplement, which is worth being honest about.
Add it at the end rather than cooking it hard, which flattens the flavour. A tablespoon goes a long way in a sauce; start smaller than you think.
The 650g tub is far better value if you cook with it regularly. Keep it dry and sealed, and use a dry spoon – damp is what spoils it.
No. It is deactivated and will not raise anything. The two are not interchangeable.
Some versions are fortified and say so; the organic one is not. Check the tub if that is why you are buying it.
Savoury and faintly cheesy, which is why it appears in so much dairy-free cooking.
Considerably, if you cook with it regularly. Keep it dry and sealed and use a dry spoon.
