BALEV BIO Nutritional yeast flakes 125g
Nutritional yeast is made from primary inactive yeast without artificial additives or preservatives. This vegan food has a nutty taste and is also reminiscent of the taste of cheese and curd.
Flake nutritional yeast is one of the richest sources of B vitamins and trace elements. It is an all-natural food, primary strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast grown on enriched purified molasses under carefully controlled conditions. This ensures the absence of Candida albicans yeast.
Properties of Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a natural protein source. It is rich in beta glucans (soluble fiber), iron, selenium, chromium and a huge range of all kinds of enzymes, vitamins and minerals that strengthen the immune system, reduce blood cholesterol levels and protect against chronic diseases and cancer. It is a good source of protein and is very low in sodium while adding fiber.
Nutritional yeast is recommended because of its content of almost all B vitamins, including thiamin, folate, B6 and niacin. In addition, yeast does not contain cholesterol and saturated fat, which are often found in animal sources of protein.
Nutritional yeast has a higher nutritional value than brewer's yeast and can therefore be ranked among the beauty foods that support health and tissue, which includes the maintenance of hair, skin and nails. In Asian cuisine, nutritional yeast is credited with bringing umami—the fifth taste that is neither sweet, salty, sour, nor bitter. That is why it has countless applications and can be combined with any food. And last but not least, nutritional yeast is gluten and GMO free.
Uses and Nutritional Values of Nutritional Yeast
Usage: because it has a pleasant taste, it can be consumed straight as it is or dissolved in water, milk, fruit or vegetable juice. It can also be added to soups, stews, baked goods, salads, and breakfast cereals to enhance flavor.
