Nutritional Yeast Flakes, 1LB (Pack of 1)

I love me some nooch. I love the smell, I love the nutrients, I love how it flavors food. Highly recommend this.

I first tried nutritional yeast years ago when I was toying with the idea of becoming a vegan. That last all of about a day and a half, but my love of 'nooch has persisted. Admittedly, I go through phases. There are times when I want to eat it on everything, and then times when I completely forget it exists. For the longest time, I would buy Bragg's, which I thought was the gold standard, but I've since tried several other brands, including the one that Trader Joe's used to carry, stuff from the bulk bin at the grocery store, Anthony's from here on Amazon, and now, this one, Hoosier Hills. My last container of Bragg's had ZERO flavor - it was like putting vaguely umami dust on my food - and I was disappointed because it had always been my favorite. I thought maybe it'd expired, but it was still very much within date. And so I took a chance and ordered this giant tub, hoping that it would taste like the Bragg's of old. I can now safely say that, in terms of taste, this HH 'nooch is a winner and is the one I will continue to purchase because the taste, quantity and value are all better than Bragg's, or any of the other competitors I've tried. Item arrived appropriately filled (not half-filled, like some others have experienced), the container was sealed perfectly, and the flakes were still large and mostly intact, unlike others that become super fine and powdery in transit. The taste is very reminiscent of Bragg's, if that's the flavor you're after, but the flakes seem larger. I love using this over salad (literally any salad can be made better with a large scoop of this on top), avocado toast and popcorn. Obviously, it's good for making vegan cheese sauces and such, but that's not my main use. For under $13 on subscribe and save, it's a total no-brainer to get yourself a tub and give it a try. I've had mine in the house for under a week, and it's almost half gone. Time to reorder!

I've become very used to using this as a flavor booster for that nutty flavor with stuff, and in place of cheese at times. The taste has been consistently good quality, the smell never seems off, and the various things you can put it in is great. You can use it to thicken as a replacement for cornstarch/flour for more robust flavoring, or add into some cheese-based things for an extra nutty kick. Or just use as full-on replacement for a different type of mac n' cheese. It even works great with meat, doing pretty darn good with ground beef or ground pork for extra flavor in like tacos (with a cumin focused version makes it extra earthy), chili (or chili mac), or even brown/red curry stuff. Hoosier Hill Farms seems to have the ingredients down pat that make this work so well. Protein content is fine, but really the "star of the show" is the Vitamin B1/B2/B3/B6/B12 concentrations, so if you are low on such, this is a great edible source vs taking vitamins. Though fair warning: your urine will be colorful if you overdo the yeast flakes!

I really lik d this brewers yeast. I found the larger flakes were fantastic I bought this originally because it was a great deal cost wise with the intention of grinding to a powder. I use this for my cats it helps their tummies and immune systems and as an added bonus makes their skin taste bad to bugs! Yes, you heard me correctly adding this to their food will keep bugs away lfes ticks and mosquitoes how fantastic this is naturally offering bug patrol and pets love the taste it's like a treat to them. I personally will sprinkle on popcorn but I mainly buy for the kiddos oh they stay indoors but I always know there is potential that something could enter the house and I offers me peace of mind I don't have to bathe my cats and make them traumatized or give them purely awful chemicals that can also harm them naturally I help my fur babies. But yes this product I'd great it has a secure lid I can reach in and grab a pinch or a scoop however much I need the container is sealed and versatile to user. The nutritional value is exceptional too. No no one has paid me for this but just want my fur babies healthy and happy.

Over the past year and a half, I've bought seven different brands of nutritional yeast. Not all nutritional yeast is created the same. From one brand to the next, the flavor can vary A LOT. With some, the differences are in texture, if it's gritty or if it dissolves well, how salty it tastes or how pungent, or how "yeasty" it tastes, etc, and these flavor differences do not always coincide with whether it is fortified or non-fortified. Some have big flakes, some are fine powders. And of course some brands are outrageously expensive. Of course I cannot afford to spend an outrageous amount of money on nooch, so of all the ones I've tried, apart from Bragg's, none were more than $15 per pound. I purchased them all at different times and when one ran out I bought another one. One of these days I'll get around to having all of them in front of me at the same time and doing a proper comparison taste test (possibly with video?). If any manufacturers of high-end noch would like to be in the taste test, feel free to send me a sample, but fair warning, if your nooch isn't any better than the cheap stuff, I will be perfectly honest. 😸 But on to this review: for the Hoosier Hill Farm large yeast flakes (fortified), it ranked probably in the top three or four. Of course this is going by memory alone and some of those other brands I bought a long time ago, but I think my favorites were Terrasoul and Frontier, but this Hoosier Hill Farm isn't far behind. I'd say it's a good flavored basic nutritional yeast, nice texture and good value for the money. Flavor preferences are pretty subjective of course, but I think this one was pretty good.

Pleasant taste. Goes well on cooked vegetables and on salads.

Excellent quality especially for the cost.

Très bon achat ! J’avais entendu parlé des bienfaits de la levure alimentaire, et bien avec ce produit, j’en suis ravie. Il a un très bon goût, du genre fromager. À mettre avec des omelettes, des pommes de terre etc… il pourrait remplacer le parmesan ! de Joanne

great product and a great price
