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.

Nutritional Yeast contains the B vitamins. I have a plant-based diet and it's harder to get enough of the B vitamins. I'm also on medication that can deplete vitamin B12, which can have medical consequences. Vegans are especially at risk for deficiencies in Bs.

No not even close... Fermax is diammonium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, autolyzed yeast... I use it for wine making (sometimes to make yeast work better). This product "Amylase" is for converting starch to sugar (making beer, vodka, whiskey)... I have had pretty good results making my own yeast nutrient with (tomato paste, boiled dry yeast and multi vitamins)... Happy brewing :)

This is an Italian yeast (seems lighter in rising than original American yeast) however, it does have an added vanilla base. I use it to make Biscotti Di Prato, an Italian twice-baked cookie/bread, and the taste is delicious and have had no problems. I have not used it in other baking items. I am sorry I can't help there.

Hi Kimberly, Yes, it is the same stuff. And it will help with nursing your baby. It's also great for B vitamins. I don't buy actual brewer's yeast, though, because it is often too bitter for my taste. I guess beer drinkers like that flavor. 'Nutritional yeast is equivalent, but tastes much better in my opinion. I actually have a preference for nutritritional year flakes. So yummy. I usually flavor it with Spike, available at health food stores and most large grocery stores. With Bragg's product it is already nicely seasoned. I generally buy larger quantities for our use on popcorn or stir fry mostly. Health and good luck to you and yours!

I'm not really sure, but they provide a vitamin info-line phone number of 1-800-433-1213... I can say no yeast fermentation, since I'm highly allergic to yeast and I've been using this product for some time now without any problems... All the vitamins and supplements I take are from Kirkland, a very good company.

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

Unless the ingredients specifically use the term "yeast", I am not able to identify products that may be derived from yeast. Your best bet is to write or call the manufacturer or distributor.

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.

I'm afraid I can't help answer your question. I only bought this product once and wasn't real happy with it. I prefer the nutritional yeast flakes to the powdery consistency that this product came in, so I threw away the container many months ago. I now buy my nutritional yeast at my local co-op. Sorry I couldn't help...

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!

According to the label, the yeast is primary grown on molasses. They are unsweetened, non-GMO, and naturally low in fat and sodium.

Yes it is yeast but spoon for spoon is different and it is not typical bread yeast. I would not use it for anything unless u experiment it is very good but u have to know exchange amounts. Excellent for bread. But expensive

I am not much help in comparing this Solgar Brewer's yeast to that of Lewis Labs but Solgars brand has a nutty taste, blends well and has great nutritional value. I loved it. This is not a type of yeast for brewing beer. Hope this helps.

Ally, I have no idea of the contents. I tried this a long time ago and loved it. I tastes like brewer's yeast, if you're familiar to that. Excellent source of B. I am a smoker and obviously need the B complex and the taste of the brewer's yeast made it very pleasant. The B benefits were noticable quickly, so I have reccomended it to others. Sorry I can't give you more info. Hope this helps.

According to my reading, additional B vitamins have been added to KAL Nutritional yeast, although it already has a full range of amino acids and a variety of B vitamins from its primary source, which is molasses.

This is an unusual question since the yeast is a live culture that only requires regular feedings of flour and water to survive for centuries, to be used as a starter with the other ingredients in bread baking recipes. I would suggest that she go to their website "breadtopia" that has a forum and a link to their developer, Eric (eric@breadtopia.com) and ask him, I'm sure he will answer the questions as he has mine.ps: In the book "Classic Sourdoughs" by Ed Wood, he states " Do not add anything but flour and water to your culture".
