Member Owned Since 1976Responsible to People and PlanetKosherNon-Irradiated Frontier Co-op® Premium Nutritional Yeast has a robust umami flavor that is nutty and cheesy — a versatile pantry staple as a cheese substitute or seasoning for snacks, veggies and sides. Or, add flavor to your go-to veggie or chip dip and creamy sauce recipes. Delicious and a good source of B vitamins — you don't have to be vegan or dairy-free to love nutritional yeast. To create these flavorful flakes, the yeast is harvested, washed, pasteurized and dried with heat to "deactivate" it. Because it's inactive, it doesn't act as a leavening agent like baking yeast. Instead, it adds creamy texture as a cheese substitute or pungent nutty taste to recipes and snacks.
