What is your nutritional yeast grown on? And is it grown on NonGMO products?

This may help you; from the company website. http://www.nutraceutical.com/about/brands/foodsource.cfm

Hello. I'm a purchaser. I think you need to contact the company directly for an answer to your questions. Wishing you well . . .

According to the label, the yeast is primary grown on molasses. They are unsweetened, non-GMO, and naturally low in fat and sodium.

It is definitely NOT yeast, it's a baking powder-type product that I have used in cakes and quickbreads, such as cornbread, but definitely not for yeast bread applications.

I just spent 10 minutes on their website and while it says they grow their nutritional yeast on beets and cane molasses, nowhere do they state that the beets or molasses is non-gmo. I would rather assume that they ARE using GMO products to grow their nutritional yeast - because if they were not, I believe they would say so. This is a company with many healthy products...so there is no reason not to list whether it's GMO or non-GMO. I won't buy it because they don't clarify enough for me.

According to my reading, additional B vitamins have been added to KAL Nutritional yeast, although it already has a full range of amino acids and a variety of B vitamins from its primary source, which is molasses.

Yes it is yeast but spoon for spoon is different and it is not typical bread yeast. I would not use it for anything unless u experiment it is very good but u have to know exchange amounts. Excellent for bread. But expensive

I checked the label for you, "... no milk, no lactose, no gluten, no wheat, no yeast..." Sooo, seems the answer is a definate no. However, they post a Questions/Comments number on the bottle 800-433-2990 M-S 9am-7om, EST if you want to speak to them directly.

I took a photo of the back ingredients on bottle but there is no option here to place the photo. It does not appear to have sugar or yeast but sometimes hard to tell. It does say contains no milk, soy, egg or wheat. Be well!

This is not a yeast in and of itself, rather it is a nutrient supplement to help ensure maximum yeast health. I believe it contains diammonium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate and autolyzed yeast - all compounds which active, growing yeast use to build strong new cells. I use it especially for starter worts for big beers and in my mead making where I am often pushing yeasts into stressful situations (very high gravity etc). For beers, I add 1 tsp/gal of wort about 10 minutes before end of boil. For starter worts I put it in with my dry malt extract (1/4 tsp/Litre), then boil for 15 minutes in an erlenmeyer flask. For mead I use a staggered nutrient addition process using this and Yeast Energizer (see http://beerandwinejournal.com/staggered-nutrient-additions/) I use this in place of straight DAP in that scenario with good results.

For that I'd use nutritional yeast. This has other added ingredients and is a little pricey for sprinkling imo.

There are two types of brewers yeast. Brewers Yeast (derived from the fermentation of beer) and Nutritional Brewers Yeast (derived from molasses). Brewers Yeast contains chromium while Nutritional Brewers Yeast (like Solgar) does not. A special note to vegetarians. Although neither yeasts contain vitamin B-12, Nutritional Brewers Yeast almost always has it added. Also, a previous comment states that debittered brewers yeast does not contain chromium, yet I have seen debittered brewers yeast with chromium.

I am afraid I can't really answer your question beyond being able to comment about the taste. Nutritional yeast is cheesy, nutty and savory. I don't believe you can say that about baking yeast. I suggest you do some research to see if baking yeast and nutritional yeast are "related" beyond the name. All I know is that bread yeast is alive - nutritional yeast is inactive and they aren't a substitute for each other!

Same as Allison; my packets are 5 grams as well. I have found 1 gram of yeast works out to works out to about a 1/4 teaspoon. Have fun making hooch!

Nowhere on the bottle does it show yeast. Contains soy is the only other ingredient other than the vitamins and minerals and supplements.

I'm afraid I can't help answer your question. I only bought this product once and wasn't real happy with it. I prefer the nutritional yeast flakes to the powdery consistency that this product came in, so I threw away the container many months ago. I now buy my nutritional yeast at my local co-op. Sorry I couldn't help...

This product IS NOT FOR BREWING BEER! The label says not to confuse it with "brewers type yeast." It is a nutritional supplement.
