Searching for a nutritional yeast that tastes good

Pat58 · 03-20-23, 08:49 AM

I hope the vegans and healthy foodies can help. I want to add nutritional yeast to my diet, but I hate the one brand I've tried - Bragg's, with some kind of seasoning.

Are there better brands? Thank you for looking.

I bought some from Amazon but I've been too scared to try it

I will check the brand and let you know.

Eta: I bought Bob's Red Mill.

I have been following the you tube channel "Well Your World" and they sell a bunch of products, including nutritional yeast. If I don't like the kind I have, I may order from them:

Thanks, Sherry. I looked at Bob's Red Mill on Amazon and found this question answered:

"Q - How does this taste compared to Bragg's?

A - Personally? I really like the taste of Bob's Red Mill nutritional yeast. Because it has a bit of sweetness that Bragg's doesn't have. But, that's just ny taste-full ; ) opinion.

A - Was surprised -taste very good .reminds me of a cheese flavor ."

I'm just afraid to commit to a full sized bag.

The vegan cafe I go to makes dehydrated kale chips with nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute and they taste so good. The Bragg's I tried had a weird, pukey flavor.

Wow, the Bragg's sounds nasty!

If I don't like what I have I will pass it to a vegan friend.

I haven't tried many different brands, but I have used some from Trader Joe's that was fine.

This is the only one I like/use. I've also tried Hoosier Hill & Bob's. HTH

I use a non-fortified nutritional yeast, NuNaturals brand. I like it a lot better than the fortified nutritional yeast I had been using and I've read that the non-fortified kind is better for you. I haven't tried any other brands of non-fortified nutritional yeast.

I bought mine at iherb.com. NuNaturals, Non-Fortified Nutritional Yeast Flakes

It's also available on Amazon.

My husband is gluten- and dairy-free and I use it to add some cheesy flavor to some dishes. I use Bob's Red Mill.

Pat, I like Sari Nutritional Yeast. I have bought it from Amazon and I've also bought it from Walmart. It is this one:

I have not tried Well Your World's Nutritional yeast but I have tried their Cheese Sauce Mix and I don't like it at all--I threw it out!
