NOW Foods Nutritional Yeast Powder 10 oz.

NOW® Nutritional Yeast is a savory, primary-grown whole-food yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cultivated on purified cane and beet molasses — not a brewery byproduct like brewer's yeast, and free of Candida albicans. Fortified with additional B-vitamins, each serving is loaded with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B-6, folate and B-12 (a valuable plant-based B-12 source for vegans), plus protein and fiber.* With a pleasant, cheesy, nutty flavor, it's delicious sprinkled on popcorn, pasta and vegetables or stirred into shakes and recipes — a nutritious, vegan-friendly whole food.*

Frequently asked questions

Is nutritional yeast the same as brewer's yeast?
No — nutritional yeast is a primary-grown yeast cultivated specifically for nutrition (not a beer-brewing byproduct), so it's not bitter and is free of Candida albicans. It's fortified with extra B-vitamins, including vegan B-12.*

Why is it popular with vegans?
It's naturally rich in B-vitamins and fortified with B-12 — a nutrient hard to get on a plant-based diet — plus it has a savory, cheesy flavor that makes a great dairy-free seasoning, so it's a vegan kitchen staple.*

How do I use the powder?
Sprinkle it on popcorn, pasta, salads and vegetables, stir it into sauces and soups, or add it to shakes and recipes to boost flavor and nutrition. Take about 1 tablespoon daily.*
