Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning - Vegan, Gluten Free – Good Source of Protein & Vitamins – Nutritious Savory Parmesan Cheese Substitute (Original, 12 Ounce (Pack of 1))

Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning is made up of light, savory yeast flakes in the Original variety. The flakes are dairy-free, vegan and gluten free, and Bragg sources its ingredients from the land rather than a lab. The seasoning arrives in a jar fitted with a shaker top, so portioning is done by hand without extra utensils.

In everyday cooking, the flakes carry a cheesy, savory character that stands in for grated parmesan. They can be shaken over pasta, roasted or steamed vegetables, potatoes, salads, popcorn and other snacks, or stirred into dips and spreads. Because the flakes are dry and loose, they scatter evenly and blend into a dish without clumping.

Each order contains one 12 ounce container. Keep the shaker top closed between uses and store the jar somewhere cool and dry to keep the flakes free-flowing.

When using nutritional yeast in cooking, heat tends to intensify its savory depth, so adding a spoonful to soups, gravies, or sauces while they simmer draws out more flavor than sprinkling it on cold dishes. It also works as a dry coating ingredient: tossing roasted chickpeas or seeds with the flakes before baking produces a lightly nutty, savory crust. For those new to nutritional yeast, starting with small amounts and building up lets the palate adjust to its distinctly umami character, which can be assertive at first.

A 12 ounce jar represents a generous supply for a single household, lasting several weeks of regular use without running short. When comparing similar products, the flake form is generally preferable to powder for topping dishes, since flakes provide a little texture and visual contrast on the plate. The shaker format suits everyday use at the table as well as in the kitchen, making it practical for households that want a quick finishing seasoning on hand. Once opened, the jar is best kept away from steam and humidity, as moisture is the main thing that causes loose flakes to clump or lose their free-flowing quality.
