With its cheesy, nutty flavor, nutritional yeast can be added to almost all meals and snacks for added protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
It is an excellent source of B vitamins - a vital group of vitamins necessary for proper metabolism, iron, zinc and selenium. They add a salty taste to dishes, but do not contain salt.
This allows you to reduce salt intake and thus reduce tissue swelling.
The product contains vitamin B12, which is often deficient in people who give up meat and animal products.
Nutritional yeast also contains fiber, which is necessary to normalize blood sugar levels, regulate the digestion process and prevent gallstones.
It is also a rich source of compounds known as beta-glucans, which may support immune system and gastrointestinal health.
One study found that nutritional yeast is a complete protein and a good source of B vitamins such as B12.
Nutritional yeast should not be consumed by those who have previously had an allergy to it, or by people with migraines or
Crohn's disease. In addition, those who have problems metabolizing folic acid—for example, people with an MTHFR gene mutation—should read labels carefully and choose unfortified nutritional yeast.
