About Brewer's yeast flakes
Brewer's yeast flakes are a dried, flaked yeast ingredient sold for food use. They may be stirred into foods or sprinkled over them for a savoury, yeast-like flavour. The name does not establish the yeast strain, whether it is deactivated, or whether vitamins or other ingredients have been added.
The flakes are light, dry, and brittle, often with a pale golden colour and a savoury, slightly bitter or nutty taste. They are distinct from live yeast used to ferment dough or beer. Products differ in processing and formulation, so the name alone does not establish a specific nutrient profile.
