Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning 4.5 Ounce (Packaging May Vary)

This nutritional yeast is one that I will continually buy. I add this to my popcorn and wow! It gives a wonderful buttery taste. Most of all, it is so nutritious!

Bragg is a trusted product that is always made with the finest quality ingredients. Serving health worldwide since 1912 as stated on the bottle. You will receive 4.5 oz. bottle. See attached pictures for size comparison. Great addition to any meal or side dish. It is salt, gluten, and sugar free. It has no egg, milk, wheat, corn, starch, soy, animal derivatives and no artificial colors or preservatives either. It did not have any MSG. I found it was a great seasoning for those on a healthier diet or if you have serious allergies. I did not notice any flavor difference compared to the highly salted or highly artificial ones. Serving size is one tablespoon and is 20 calories and 1g of dietary fiber. The price is reasonable so why not give it a try.The bottle has a shaker top (see attached picture) so you can replace your salt shaker with this. This bragg product will be on my amazon wish list always. I had a hard time finding bragg products in my small town. I found shopping on amazon from the comfort of my home an easy way to get anything I need for my home and even pantry! My new go to addition to my spice cabinet. The price is right and so worthy of giving it a try.

It tastes great - I was surprised and no after effects.

Decided to try this to cut calories when wanting to use cheese. This is so perfect. Tastes cheesy and salt, but very low sodium and calories and high in so many other nutrients. Can use it as a seasoning and a lot like cheese - Sprinkle on popcorn for a cheesy tasting popcorn, cook it in meals like a cheese (I mix it in after cooking) can be used in a breading, can be used in soups or stews. Really tasty and versatile!

I only know of this brand so is there any reason to leave a review? its nooch ... if you need it, you need it

Convenient

I might not be vegan or even vegetarian, but I know that yeast extract has a punch of flavor. It's umami as heck, and can substitute for times when you might otherwise want to use something cheesy, or fermented. But that's all standard faire. Where this product comes into its own is when it's used as an augment, not unlike using MSG. Making a cheesy sauce? Add a pinch of this. It ups the cheesy flavor factor without being incompatible. Want to cut down on your portion sizes? Up the umami factor and eat slowly, and most people find that they feel satisfied sooner. Obviously this product is meant for savory applications, I can't see using it anything sweet. But, Experiment, people! Research some cooking techniques that are outside your normal paradigm just to learn. Credit where credit is due, the vegan community is extremely inventive and has a lot to offer to the omnivore. PRO: -cheesy umami-bomb flavor. -great substitute for that shelf-stable 'parm' in a can with the green lid. Especially for folks who can't handle dairy. CON: -kinda pricey, but, a little bit goes a long way and you'll keep using a single container for a while. -unfamiliar to many people, and they'll have questions about what you're adding to their food. -looks a lot like fishflakes, and doesn't really smell so great on its own.

After some consideration, I decided to purchase this nutritional yeast to help me live out my dreams of being a more versatile cook. I was also trying, for health's sake, to find a substitute for cheese, and this is pretty good for that. The container was also very securely packaged. The flakes have a nutty, savory flavor to them. They do not remind of me cheese in the sense that if I smell them/and or taste them, I do not get major cheese "vibes". Rather, these flakes mimic the umami, or savory component of cheese that many of us love, and they do it well. I made a quick roux using a tablespoon of this yeast seasoning, added a pinch of onion powder and some Maggi powder, and I ended up with a fantastic cheese sauce that was lower in calories and high in protein content. And when I re-heated the sauce and poured it over some cooked shells, the "cheesy" odor became even more prominent, and the shells were delicious. If you are looking for a product that mimics the creamy, savory components of cheese, this might be your next best kitchen ingredient. I now understand why vegan and vegetarian blogs rave about this ingredient--I loved it, and this container will last me a long time. Try it in a sauce, or over popcorn, or in steamed vegetables--this is extremely versatile.
