How to Use
Sprinkle nutritional yeast over freshly popped popcorn, pasta, pizza, roasted vegetables, or salads for a savory, cheese-like flavor. Stir 2-3 tablespoons into sauces, soups, or dips for a dairy-free umami base, or blend it with soaked cashews, lemon juice, and spices for a vegan cheese sauce. Start with a small amount since the flavor is concentrated. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly, and refrigerate after opening for best freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Yeast contain allergens?
This nutritional yeast is grown on a molasses-based medium rather than grain and is labeled gluten-free. Read the printed ingredient and allergen panel on the container for the current facility notice before using it if you have a food allergy, since notices can change between production runs.
How should I store Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Yeast?
Keep the sealed shaker in a cool, dry pantry away from heat and moisture, since humidity can cause the flakes to clump. After opening, close the lid tightly after each use and consider refrigerating it in warmer climates to preserve flavor and the added B vitamins. Check the printed best-by date for shelf life guidance.
Can I use nutritional yeast as a substitute for real cheese?
Nutritional yeast has a savory, umami flavor often compared to Parmesan, which makes it a common dairy-free stand-in in vegan cooking, but it does not melt or stretch like real cheese. It works best sprinkled on finished dishes or blended into sauces rather than as a melted topping. Many people use it alongside, not strictly instead of, dairy cheese.
Where is Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Yeast made?
Bob's Red Mill packages this nutritional yeast at its facility in Milwaukie, Oregon, where the company has operated since 1978. It is a domestic product, not imported, and ships from the US to Real Prime Deals customers in both the US and Canada.
