 Healthy Cheesy Flavor For Raw Vegans Dec 27, 2008
By A. Black
"Electra Designs"
I'm a raw vegan who sometimes misses the taste and texture of cheese. I'm really glad I bought nutritional yeast flakes because I can add it to all my raw vegan dishes for added flavor and texture. It makes everything taste cheesy and rich, and it's super nutritious and very affordable. A little goes a long way. I can make raw zucchini taste like macaroni and cheese! I can't wait to make cheesy kale chips in my dehydrator. I have had them before and they taste just like cheezits (but they are raw, green and healthy!)
I know I'm getting my B vitamins when I consume nutritional yeast because it makes my pee bright yellow.

The Best! Apr 15, 2006
By Torrey Peacock
This is the best nutritional yeast I've been able to find. It actually tastes good! The ingredients list on Amazon is wrong - its a very good source of B-Vitamins, and many other nutrients, including the important trace minerals Selenium and Chromium. If you're looking for a good yeast powder, this is the one!

Weight loss, energy boost, cat supplement Sep 23, 2010
By Caroline Carr
EDIT: A stray kitten came to us with Eosinophilic Granulomas (rodent ulcers or rodent mouth) Took three vets until we found out what was wrong. It was after repeated outbreaks of the lip sores this autoimmune disease causes that I began using Kal yeast in lieu of prednisone and clindamycin. He has been symptom free since, except for one time (last week)when stress triggered it after he escaped outside and became panicked. But after a few days of eating the yeast (in his food), he cleared up - and faster than the medical treatments we used before. I use about 1 T. per 5.5 oz. can. The best part is that he prefers his food with Kal yeast.
First discovered this brand in 1978. Occasionally tried others, to my dismay. This one tastes great, I just grab a spoonful and enjoy eating it dry. Seems to give me an immediate lift that way, along with satisfying the type of "hunger" that drives me to eat high calorie snacks. Add it to my cats' canned food, too; we all like Kal Yeast Flakes!
Local stores charge almost as much for the smaller size, and other web sites charge a higher price or much higher shipping. Wonderful that I can get this through Amazon! Otherwise, I'd be huffing and puffing up the hill to the local store to pay more.

 For the elderly, too much folic acid in this yeast Jan 20, 2012
By Pen Name
I'd paid no attention to the folic acid aspect of this yeast product before having a blood test recently. Results showed out-of-range high RBC folate of >700, (800). A high level of RBC folate is not good for older persons because in the case of existing cancer cells which may be present somewhere in the body high RBC folate is like gasoline to a fire, I've read. You could kill yourself with this supplement if you are an old person, is my feeling. I quit taking it, this yeast product, immediately, wanting immediately to be soon enough, being 70 years old. The label shows the serving size of this yeast product includes 310 percent of the RDA for folic acid. This would be in addition to all other folic acid and natural folate from food consumed by the ingester during a day. Folic acid, an artificial folate, is these days added to many products, such as flour and cereal. An online article said the actual levels of folic acid fortification are often in excess of the stated levels. So this product has too much folic acid. I think I'm sure of that, because of the blood count results, the product label, & because there's too much, I've read, folic acid fortification in general here in the United States at this time. Folic acid fortification can hurt if you are an older person, I think, by disabling certain cancer inhibiting cellular functions, if that's a good way to say it. Here's the way it was put by a news-medical.net release seen online: "People with higher levels of folate in their red blood cells were more likely to have two tumor-suppressing genes shut down by methylation, a chemical off switch for genes, researchers report in the December [2010] issue of Cancer Prevention Research." Lastly, a local chain grocery store here sells a nutritional yeast, a brand which, by the label, includes light folic acid fortification to a level of one fifth of the RDA, compared with this yeast's level of 3x of the RDA, meaning the Kal Yeast reviewed here has 15 times as much folic acid per serving as one alternative yeast product sold locally. Er, by the way, I should state, admit, say that I over ate this yeast and other yeast products when I was enjoying them in September, October, November and December of 2011, having more than the recommended serving, most days.

Delicious and oh so good for you Feb 16, 2010
By Catherine M. Hiller
"chillertheater"
I love Kal Nutritional Yeast. It has a delicious nutty flavor, and I put it on brown rice, salad and mochi. It is especially good mixed with flax borage oil. My cats are addicted to it, and I sprinkle it on their food as well. It is rich in B vitamins and about a gazillion amino acids. I always get the blue label, and at this price it was a tremendous bargain. I bought it online because for some reason New York City was out of it. Go figure, I guess the secret is out!
