The Most Valuable Super Food

Many nutritionists consider primary-grown nutritional yeast to be the most valuable Super Food available. Nutritional yeast is a truly amazing source of many nutrients packed into one food. This is because it is a complete protein, containing more protein than meat and is much more bio-available.

In addition, nutritional yeast is an excellent source of B-vitamins, including B12 (especially important for vegetarians). Nutritional yeast also contains GTF, the glucose tolerance factor that helps regulate blood sugar. The earliest recorded use of yeast was in 1550 BC in Egypt, but it is only during the last few decades that the outstanding health benefits of nutritional yeast have been researched.

What Makes Nutritional Flakes so Different?

The best primary grown nutritional yeast is grown on mineral-enriched molasses. The yeast absorbs the minerals from the molasses, providing possibly the best natural food form of minerals available for humans. At the end of its growth period, the yeast is pasteurized to avoid the use of living yeast (which can create intestinal problems such as gas and bloating).

Another type of nutritional yeast, brewer’s yeast, is not a primary grown yeast but a by-product of the beer-brewing industry without the robust properties of primary grown yeast. It has a bitter flavor (from hops) and may contain impure yeast strains encountered during the brewing process. In contrast, primary-grown nutritional yeast contains only a pure yeast strain and has a delightful, nutty-like flavor.

So Many Nutrients in One Source

Nutritional yeast contains 18 amino acids (forming complete protein) and 15 minerals. It is rich in B-complex vitamins, especially helpful for stress reduction. Nutritional yeast is a valuable supplement, especially for vegetarians or vegans since it supplies a source of good B-12.

Concerned About Yeast and Candida?

Nutritional yeast is a primary-grown food yeast (non-fermenting), called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is not a pathogenic yeast and does not cause Candida or other yeast infections. Add a few teaspoons daily to food for optimal health.*
