Bragg Nutritional Yeast Roasted Garlic Seasoning - 3 oz - Dairy-Free Parmesan Cheese Substitute - Perfect for Salads, Pastas, Popcorn, and More

I do a lot of cooking and am always looking for different recipes to give me ideas to vary our diet. I am also into healthy foods and avoid GMO products as much as possible. Braggs has become a brand I trust since I use Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar which is totally non-GMO whereas many vinegars are made using GMO soy. I very much believe that "you are what you eat". My husband and I are both in our late 70's, and neither of us have any health issues nor are we taking any medications at all. I recently came across a recipe that called for nutritional yeast, which I had not heard of, so I did some research on it. I found that although nutritional yeast is used as a seasoning, it contains protein and a number of B vitamins that most diets are deficient in. It should be noted here that B vitamins are an addition to some brands of nutritional yeast, but not all brands include them. Bragg Nutritional yeast does include the B vitamins, including vitamin B12 which seems to be the vitamin many are deficient in. Not all brands of nutritional yeast contain all of the vitamins and minerals that this one does. You should check what is included in any other brand you might consider. The main benefits of this nutritional yeast are: - Protein. Nutritional yeast contains all nine essential amino acids that you must obtain from food. It’s also a source of high quality plant protein - B vitamins. Fortified nutritional yeast is especially rich in B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and B6 and B12 - Trace minerals. These include zinc, selenium, manganese, and molybdenum, which are involved in gene regulation, metabolism, growth, and immunity - Provides a tasty way to add B vitamins and trace minerals to food without taking more pills. - A great way to thicken creamed soups or other recipes that thinned after freezing. As for uses of nutritional yeast, you can use it: - as a seasoning for popcorn, pasta, salad, or casserole dishes - as an umami flavor in soups, stews, or chili - as a savory, cheesy flavor in vegan sauces - as a thickener for soups and sauces - as an ingredient in smoothies - as an addition to any recipe already containing cheese, ie. macaroni and cheese. Can't have too much cheese, right? Personally, I am open to using products that add health value to foods. Tonight, we had homegrown steamed scarlet kale for a veggie, and I mixed 2 tsp. of this nutritional yeast into the kale after steaming and adding some butter. The recommended amount for a serving is 2 tbsp. but I was conservative since the seasoning is new to me. My husband didn't taste a difference, but I tasted a hint of cheese. I will add more to the next veggies we have since I did like the flavor it added to the greens. Although the flavor of the seasoning, depending on how much you use, is subtle, the additional B vitamins added to foods is much better than having to take daily pill supplements. I will likely be using this as a seasoning to add flavor and B vitamins to the greens I grow and use as sides. I do like the flavor it adds and will be experimenting with adding it to other foods and recipes. I will update this review as I gain more experience in using this healthy seasoning. I am all for anything that adds nutritional benefits to to foods we eat. Personally, I don't see a benefit over the original blend as the garlic is not at all noticeable. I hope this review was helpful for you.

I was introduced to nutritional yeast recently and now add it to all my savory dishes! This flavor is so good. I also have the asiago cheese flavor and both improve the flavor of whatever you add it to. It is good for you and smells and tastes great. Highly recommend!

Good Product

This seasoning is really tasty and low in sodium. I’m happy I purchased it!

Interesting item, have never used before - package is great, smells great - looking forward to using - came the very next day

I have purchased this several times - because it is a delicious addition to my palate’s repertoire.Delish and healthy

Really liking this product. Never tried nutritional yeast before. It was suggested by Stacy Burke who is on YouTube and a Vegan. I'm not vegan but I want to incorporate healthier foods into my diet. 😊

I use this on my eggs each morning instead of cheese. I really can’t taste the difference. It’s a good choice if you want to cut down on the amount of cheese you eat or can’t eat cheese at all.
