Where does nutritional yeast come from?

Nutritional yeast, or brewer's yeast, is very different from active yeast that we use to make bread. On the contrary, this micro-sized fungus obtained from barley malt fermentation is inactive.

Widely consumed during World War Two, dried nutritional yeast is, even to this day, a perfect aliment to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Indeed, nutritional yeast is an excellent source of vegetable protein, which represents a great advantage for vegetarians and vegans. 

Nutritional yeast and its benefits

We can already tell you that it is a perfect aliment for your health and that KissPlanet suggests you to try it, with the near certainty that you will embrace it. But why?

It is rich in B and D vitamins

 B vitamins are essential for the balance of our body. For example, B1 intervenes in the production of energy, B6 is excellent for the mental balance, B9 is the best ally of our immune system, and B12 is ideal to maintain the nervous system. As B 12 vitamin has a very small presence in the plant world, it is, undoubtedly, a considerable asset for this product.

It is rich in plant protein...

Another advantage of the nutritional yeast is that it has a low-fat content and has a good plant protein intake. All amino acids without any exception are present, including those that cannot be synthesized by the human body and have to be brought by food or food supplements. It is important to insist on this point because the presence of such a nutritional richness is very rare and beneficial for strict diets like those of vegetarians and vegans, who generally have to take dietary supplements to secure the provision of the 9 amino acids already present in the nutritional yeast. Another key aspect of this product is its plant protein content: nutritional yeast contains more or less 50% of proteins. It makes it, once again, a very impressive food, if not essential for the vegans and vegetarians.

Nutritional yeast boosts the immune system

Nutritional yeast is a must during the autumn and winter months. This fungus helps you to avoid the common seasonal discomforts such as sore throat, runny nose and gastroenteritis.

Nutritional yeast for the beauty?

The most strong defenders of nutritional yeast speak insistently of it as beauty food, for the hair, for the nails but also for the skin! This fungus is also used in many homemade cosmetic products. 

How to cook with nutritional yeast?

Malted yeast can be used in any meal you prepare. However, it should not be cooked or even eaten with food that is too hot, as it may lose some of its incredible nutritional properties. Despite this bad news, do not worry, there are still plenty of dishes that will make your mouth water! For example, you can make false cheese (vegan cheese) or make a sandwich with breaded eggplant and some nutritional yeast shavings or sprinkle your wonderful pizzas and delicious pasta dishes with it! 

The perfect replacement for nutritional yeast

There are many recipes that include nutritional yeast, they offer wider opportunities to the person that follow a strict diet. Indeed, if you want to become vegetarian or vegan or do agree with these modes of consumption, do not hesitate to consume it.

Where to find nutritional yeast?

We recommend you to opt for nutritional yeast from organic agriculture, because the mode of production is more natural. It is possible to find organic yeast in your supermarket, in groceries or in organic shops.

Another option is to buy nutritional yeast from KissPlanet. By doing so, you will make sure that you buy a product of high quality, and you will receive it at home in a returnable package.
