Nutritional yeast is a living yeast, often quite a rare strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is available commercially as a health food item. It is very popular among vegetarians and vegans and can even be utilized as an ingredient in vegetarian meals or as a spice in non-vegetarian dishes. This article will focus on its uses, benefits, and introduction. Nutritional yeast has witnessed massive growth over the years due to increasing demand from the food and beverage industry. The most common use of nutritional yeast flakes as an addition to a diet is the substitution of ordinary starches for bread and other grains that contain yeast.

These flakes are available in different forms. Most commonly, they are available as a powder, cookies, and cakes, or in the form of discs that resemble small bubbles. Some companies have created a version of nutritional yeast flakes that have been specially treated so that they do not release any yeast flavor when they are consumed. Such products are available as chewing gums. Similar to other yeast, nutritional yeast provides the body with amino acids that are vital in the functioning of the digestive systems. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and human bodies cannot produce them on their own. Nutritional yeast provides some of those vitamins and other nutrients that human bodies need to produce healthy proteins. Some of the other benefits of yeast flakes are that they contain some B vitamins, riboflavin, folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, and manganese.
