I use this stuff as a substitute for parmesan and a topping on various things; grilled veggies, salad or basically anything that needs savory seasoning. I've tried other brands (Red Star is the main one i remember) and don't really taste a difference but this one is sold at my local store--only it's way cheaper on Amazon.

I like nutritional yeast because for one thing, i cant eat dairy and it's the best dairy free substitute for parmesan I've tried, but for another, it's full of B-vitamins and makes it an a easy way to get them. I can't take B-vitamin supplements because they give me horrendous acne (yes i know that sounds weird but it happens for some people) so I was worried that because this stuff was "fortified" with them (instead of naturally having them) it would do the same but it doesn't. No idea why, but whatever; I'm not gonna complain.

I have been using flaked nutritional yeast since the 80s when I eliminated dairy from my already-vegetarian diet. Some is better than others in flavor. I don't have a laboratory to test anything else, like the protein levels, or the vitamins added including B12. But I can tell you I find this one of the best tasting I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.
The thin, mostly broad flakes mix well.
I'm glad I got this; haven't been disappointed in any KAL product really.
The sealed container gets it to you in as perfect condition as anything could, and it has a plastic snap-on lid like some oatmeal boxes do for after it's opened. Unlike many bulk bagged products in sort-of-zip-close bags, it's a reasonably secure closure.

When I first started vegan/vegetarian cooking and saw that a few recipes called for "yeast flakes", I thought no way will I ever resort to THAT kind of thing. It sounded way too healthy and just did not sound good to me, in any way. But somewhere along the line I ended up with a package of this stuff because my daughter wanted vegan mac & cheese and not the nasty frozen kind. The things we do for our kids. . . It turns out the recipe, which I found online somewhere, was actually good. Really good. So good I make it at least twice a month and it's fooled their friends who think it's real mac & cheese. Once I used this stuff, I realized it added lots of cheesy flavor and now I always have a container of it in the cabinet. I use it all the time ground up with cashews and a clove of garlic to make a faux parmesan cheese, sprinkled over kale when dehydrating it, in a recipe called Kalefredo (I know, I've gone off the deep end with this) and in the mac & cheese (of course) and no longer think it's gross. I wouldn't exactly eat it by the spoonful but I can't deny that I will never be without it now that I've realized that healthy cooking can be better than the original version. This is a good sized container that lasts me a few months and stays fresh until I use it up.

This is a HUGE container of nutritional yeast flakes, but, as any vegan knows, we put this [crap] on EVERYTHING!
I like to use in soups and broths, sauces, smoothies, on pizza, in homemade "cheeses," and so many other uses!
The taste is very comparable to higher priced and more popular brands. The nutritional value is excellent. I am not concerned about being deficient in anything except perhaps vitamin B12 as a vegan, so I definitely use nutritional yeast for health reasons, but it also tastes so good and is very versatile.
A single serving is three tablespoons, of which I probably use a third or a half serving daily, but of course it has high protein, lots of B vitamins, and many other vitamins and nutrients.
I have bought Kal Nutritional Yeast Flakes three times now I think and I will definitely buy again once this container runs out. The price is great, it always has arrived in excellent condition, the nutritional value is good, and it's just a great product overall. Highly recommended.

This "nooch" is the most amazing stuff! I love it! For vegans, or those not, it can be used in so many ways to add real umami flavor to food. I use this to make all my vegan dishes taste even better while adding nutrients. I use it to make my "noocho" sauce, a mushroom gravy with no meat stock, and I mix it in to my hummus to fortify it and give it a richer taste. I actually crave my noochie hummus in the morning on toast with tomatoes and/or avocado. I have this every day. I also use it to make a yummy salty topping for popcorn - I grind about 1/4c up in a coffee grinder with a tsp. of salt. Then, just drizzle and toss the popcorn with oil and sprinkle this on and shake. Tastes like buttered/cheesy popcorn and it's actually good for you. I also use this as a simple replacement for Parmesan cheese. It's EVERYTHING... People in Britain, Australia, New Zealand have Vegemite/Marmite to spread on toast. I eat nooch in a similar way since I will sprinkle my salty nooch topping on a cracker or over buttered toast or bread. It takes the edge off when hungry. Can you tell I'm OBSESSED? This info will be going on my blog, coming soon.
