Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning (127 g)
Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning
Nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a deactivated yeast made from sugar cane and beet molasses. It's also naturally rich in B vitamins, minerals, and protein. The fermentation process converts the natural sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas (Monday morning remedies for those rough weekend nights).
It makes a delicious seasoning when it sprinkles most foods, especially salads, vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta and even popcorn! Add to soups, sauces, spreads, cereals, juices and smoothies for extra flavour and nutrition. Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavour without the dairy, making it an excellent substitute for vegetarians and vegans.

How does Vitamin B12 support metabolism and improve overall skin, hair and nail health?
B vitamins, including B12, help release energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the food we eat. In this way, these B's help to convert food into fuel for our bodies. Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning is a crucial source of B Vitamins, especially Vitamin B12. This nutrient is essential for supporting metabolism, energy production and maintaining overall skin, hair and nail health.
How safe is Nutritional Yeast?
Nutritional yeast has been tested and certified as Kosher for Passover, Jewish and Halal for Muslims. Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning has recently been awarded a Food Allergy Safe-Certification from the Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils.
Nutritional yeast, also known as brewer's yeast, is a flake obtained by the fermentation of yeast grown on molasses. It has an earthy, cheese-like flavour and is added to many foods as a nutritional supplement. It is best known as the key ingredient in Vegemite bread spread and mayonnaise, including Thousand Island dressing.
Many people think of it as a vegan product since it is produced by fermentation of plant sugars to yeast. However, nutritional yeast is not suitable for vegans, as it is produced by a fermentation process using dairy products. Nutritional yeast is non-GMO. The nutritional yeast is thoroughly screened for foreign particles and microbiological contamination with ultra-sonic equipment.
The nutrient content of the final product is checked by ensuring that the yeast has an adequate phosphorus content. This is done with a calibrated refractometer, which accurately measures the amount of phosphorus contained in the product. The manufacturer also checks for potency and purity by analyzing its amino acid composition using capillary electrophoresis with UV-VIS spectrophotometry.
A source of muscle-building protein
Studies have shown that nutritional yeast has a high content of B vitamins, including vitamin B-12. The B vitamins are essential for metabolic processes, including converting energy from food into energy used for daily activities. A deficiency in B vitamins can lead to an inability to properly use fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients. Vitamin B deficiencies also increase the risk of suffering from certain health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease and depression.
Numerous studies have shown that nutritional yeast has a high protein content, an essential nutrient for building and maintaining muscle. A protein deficiency can lead to a decreased ability to perform everyday activities, weak bones and hair, and easily damaged skin and nails, among other health problems. Protein is also essential for the production of hemoglobin in the blood. The body needs hemoglobin for carrying oxygen throughout the body. People who do not get enough protein may experience mild fatigue and shortness of breath.
It contains naturally occurring beta-glucan fibre, which supports a healthy immune system. Research has shown that nutritional yeast contains naturally occurring beta-glucan fibre, which helps keep a healthy immune system. The beta-glucans in nutritional yeast may also help lower cholesterol levels and lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
