Google is a wonderful source of information. I didn't know the answer, but go to: www.milkandhoneyhealthfoods.com/brewers-yeast-versus-nutritional-yeast for the best explanation I found.

Slightly different nutritional value. Brewers yeast has chromium, nucleic acid, selenium, potassium and protein , nutritional yeast usually has added vitamin B12. Both are excellent sources of vitamins and nutrients for chickens and ducks, I like this product because it also contains garlic powder which has wonderful health benefits as well.

This *IS* Red Star rapid-rise yeast, so no, it's the same quality as Fleischman's and Red Star.. The "dold" SAF-instant yeast is better for making sweet doughs, and the active dry yeast is better for refrigerated doughs. For bread machines, use 2/3 as much instant yeast as you'd use active dry.

I tried using it to brew with, and got a zero result. I did not read anywhere that this is 'Dead Yeast in a Jar'. But, that's what it is. What I did, fortunatly, was to try to make a yeast starter before brewing and pitching. Got zero activity twice! Although I don't eat it, I decided to use it as a yeast nutrient for my light beers and Mead. When brewing a light beer, I put in a heaping tablespoon in the boil. When I make a Mead I put two heaping tablespoons in a little water and boil for a few minutes, then pitch into the must just before adding the active yeast. I hope this helps. ~Carl

It is not the same as brewers yeast. It is used by people that have gone vegan and is a nutritional yeast. The label says, This nutritional yeast is a rich source of B-complex vitamins and can easily be added to a number of meals and drinks. Sprinkle on popcorn, salads, soups and casseroles for a boost of nutrients. Try adding a tablespoon to your morning cereal, smoothies or juice for an extra healthy start to the day. Each serving contains 8 grams of protein and a number of vitamins and minerals. Nutritional Facts: (16g), Cal. 70, Cal. from Fat 10, Fat 1g (2%DV), Cholest. 0g, Fiber 4g (16%DV), Protein 8g, Sodium 11mg (0% DV), Sugar 0g,*Percent Daily Values (DV) are based on 2,000 calorie diet. Ingredients: Inactive Dried Yeast, Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (B6), Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin Hydrochloride (B1), Folic Acid and Vitamin B12. I hope this helps you. Mrs. H

It says right on the label the B Vitamin is from Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is a type of yeast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

Yes. All nutritional yeast is gluten free, but to be on the safe side, I went and read the label on my jar. It is gluten free . HTH :-)Contains no salt, starch, wheat, gluten,corn,soy,milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

Not sure. It has "natural flavor" whatever that is and dried brewers yeast.

I am afraid I can't really answer your question beyond being able to comment about the taste. Nutritional yeast is cheesy, nutty and savory. I don't believe you can say that about baking yeast. I suggest you do some research to see if baking yeast and nutritional yeast are "related" beyond the name. All I know is that bread yeast is alive - nutritional yeast is inactive and they aren't a substitute for each other!

Although I threw away the old one and, if memory serves me I'm pretty sure that's are vitamins and 2 amino acids (which is what drew me to them as they work in the brain to balance it). The inactive s are brewers yeast,chicken liver flavor; things like that

Nutritional yeast is deactivated (unlike baking yeast) and has a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Where it is made shouldn't matter.

I used 1 tsp. per gallon in my banna multi grain mix and the yeast really took off. Have a shiney day!

I use bread machine yeast. It comes in a small jar and I use about a teaspoon more than the recipes call for.

Hi Laurel, For home beer and wine makers, this stuff gives yeast shoulders or perservierence. Hope that helps.Lenny

I just spent 10 minutes on their website and while it says they grow their nutritional yeast on beets and cane molasses, nowhere do they state that the beets or molasses is non-gmo. I would rather assume that they ARE using GMO products to grow their nutritional yeast - because if they were not, I believe they would say so. This is a company with many healthy products...so there is no reason not to list whether it's GMO or non-GMO. I won't buy it because they don't clarify enough for me.

Yes it is, it is dried, and rendered inactive. So it will not work to make bread rise, nutritional yeast is high in protein though, and is part of the mushroom family. Often it is used to make a vegetarian of vegan meal healthier, at least as far as I can tell.

The yeast is nutritional, like brewer's yeast, which does not contribute to candida. If you take their multivitamin, you get probiotics included, which would definitely help with any candida issues. I make a yeast infection tincture (I'm an herbalist & midwife) if you're interested :)Airmidian Natural Remedies
