Harvesting

Organic nutritional yeast is produced through fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae in carefully controlled environments. After fermentation, the yeast is deactivated, dried, and processed into light yellow flakes with a savoury, umami flavour.

Rich in protein, fibre, and B vitamins, including B12, nutritional yeast is a nutrient-packed ingredient often fortified for added benefits. Its natural cheesy taste makes it a versatile addition to plant-based dishes, enhancing everything from sauces to snacks with a boost of flavour and nutrition.

The organic nature of Organic Nutritional Yeast Flakes means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Nutritional Yeast and Herb Popcorn

Elevate your movie night snack with a unique twist on popcorn. Toss freshly popped corn with a mixture of nutritional yeast, dried herbs, and a sprinkle of sea salt for a savoury and flavourful treat. This unconventional use of nutritional yeast adds a cheesy and umami flavour to the popcorn, making it a healthier and moreish alternative to traditional buttered popcorn.

Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cook macaroni as per package instructions and set aside. Boil sweet potato until tender, then blend it with onion, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, nutmeg, and rosemary until smooth. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, mix it with the macaroni, and transfer to a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes until the top is lightly browned.

Cheesy Cauliflower Bake

Create a delicious and nutritious cheesy cauliflower bake using organic nutritional yeast. Simply steam cauliflower florets until tender, then mix them with a creamy sauce made from nutritional yeast, plant-based milk, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Top with breadcrumbs and bake until golden and bubbly. This traditional recipe is a satisfying plant-based alternative to a classic cheesy bake.

The History of Organic Nutritional Yeast Flakes

Organic Nutritional Yeast has a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was used for its nutritional and medicinal properties. In the 20th century, it gained popularity as a food product due to its high protein and vitamin content. The modern organic nutritional yeast we know today originated in the 1960s, when health food enthusiasts began using it as a cheese substitute for its savoury, umami flavour. Its heritage is deeply rooted in the health and wellness movement, and it has since become a staple in healthy diets. Today, it continues to be celebrated for its versatility and nutritional benefits.
