FAQs
What are yeast flakes?
Nutritional yeast is part of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast family, which the yeast used to make bread and brew beer is also derived from.
Nutritional yeast in made from inactive yeast, which means that the yeast cells are killed during processing and are therefore not active in the end product.
Nutritional yeast usually comes in powder form or as granules or flakes.

Are yeast flakes suitable for vegans?
Yeast flakes are suitable for anyone following a vegan or vegetarian diet.
In fact, they are ideal for vegans because they are a good source of both protein and B vitamins.
Meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are all good sources of protein as well as being good sources of vitamin B12.
However, since vegans cannot eat any of these foods, it can be difficult for them to get all the protein and vitamin B12 that they need from their diet alone.
Therefore it is a good idea to add nutritional yeast to a vegan diet (as well as a vegetarian diet) as a supplement or as an addition to meals.

Are yeast flakes healthy?

Vegetarians and vegans may be at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency and so consuming nutritional yeast can help to prevent this.
A deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to a lack of energy and fatigue and so nutritional yeast flakes help to maintain normal energy levels.
As well as vitamin B12, yeast flakes also contain other B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin B6.
Nutritional yeast can also help to support the normal functioning of the immune system as well as supporting normal skin, hair and nails.
Nutritional yeast is also a complete protein which means that it contains all nine of the essential amino acids that we need to get from our food.
