Nutritional yeast is a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae - a kind of deactivated yeast, rather than the active yeast used for bread or the pesky fungii that we try to avoid having in our body. The yeast is cultured on cane sugar or beet molasses (we use beet molasses). Nutritional yeast is a wonderful seasoning because it's naturally backed with B vitamins and it has a delicious cheezy flavor, without the cheese! Plus it's one of few plant-based foods that has all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.

Nutritional yeast has a cheesy, umami, nutty flavor that's similar to parmesan cheese. Our Sweet Cayenne Nooch has a cheezy taste with a spicy, smoky southwestern flair.

The strains of probiotics that we use are more stable than other types of probiotics and thus, they can withstand some exposure to heat. Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12 used in our Nooch, is more sensitive to heat compared to the synthetic form used in other nutritional yeasts. To fully maintain the integrity of these gut health-supporting nutrients, you can use Nooch as a finishing ingredient rather than cooking it in the oven or saucepan.

Yes, our nutritional yeast is fortified with vitamin B12, prebiotics and probiotics. Our Nooch is the only nutritional yeast flake that contains the active form of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), rather than the synthetic form (cyanocobalamin). The majority of the B vitamins found in Nooch are naturally-occurring from the culturing process of the deactivated yeast.

Nutritional yeast is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, dairy-free, nut-free and non-GMO. Our flavor blends are also made with real spices (and you can see all of the ingredients) not fake "natural" flavors.

We take the quality of our supplements very seriously. Each batch of Nooch is third-party tested multiple times during the manufacturing process including the finished powder. These tests confirm three things: what’s on the label is in the blend, the flakes are safe based on toxicology reports, and there are no contaminants or undeclared ingredients in the blend. We test our supplements in agreement with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) to ensure strength, identity, purity, and composition of our products.
