Frontier Co-op Nutritional Yeast Powder, 16 oz (453 g)

Frontier Co-op Nutritional Yeast Powder is a deactivated yeast product designed as a seasoning and non-dairy cheese substitute, adding nutty, umami flavor to dishes like soups, sauces, and popcorn. It is made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on cane and beet molasses, then harvested, washed, pasteurized, and dried to deactivate it, ensuring it does not leaven like baking yeast. The powder form dissolves readily, making it suitable for cream and cheese sauces.

This product is sourced from Estonia and is Kosher Certified, with the manufacturer noting it is non-irradiated and contains no artificial ingredients. It comes in a 16 oz (1 lb) package, providing approximately 4 cups per package, and is also available in other forms like flakes from the brand. The ingredient list includes inactive yeast with added riboflavin (vitamin B2), contributing to its nutritional profile as a source of B vitamins.
