Description
Hoosier Hill Farm Nutritional Yeast Flakes are a savory, plant based seasoning made from inactive dried yeast, with a rich, cheesy flavor that has made them a staple of vegan and dairy free cooking. Sprinkle them anywhere you would reach for parmesan, or whisk them into sauces for creamy vegan mac and cheese, queso, and gravies. Our flakes are vegan, non-GMO, and fortified with B vitamins, including vitamin B12.
How to Use Nutritional Yeast Flakes: Shake over popcorn, pasta, salads, roasted vegetables, and avocado toast for an instant savory boost. Whisk into cashew cream, blended potato and carrot sauce, or melted vegan butter for a smooth, cheesy sauce. Fold into scrambled tofu, seitan, and other plant based proteins for deep, umami flavor, or knead into homemade bread and cracker dough for a subtle cheesy note. Start with a tablespoon and season to taste; a little goes a long way.
Storage: Keep nutritional yeast flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light, like a sealed jar in the pantry. Moisture is the enemy, so we do not recommend refrigerating or freezing, since condensation can clump the flakes. Stored dry and sealed, they stay fresh through the best by date on the container.

FAQs
What are nutritional yeast flakes?
What are nutritional yeast flakes?
Nutritional yeast flakes are an inactive dried yeast with a savory, cheesy, nutty flavor, sold as golden yellow flakes. Because the yeast is inactive, it will not leaven bread and is not a substitute for baking yeast, and it is not the same as brewer's yeast, which is a bitter byproduct of brewing. Nutritional yeast is grown specifically to be a seasoning, which is why vegan cooks have nicknamed it "nooch" and treat it like a dairy free parmesan.
How do you use nutritional yeast flakes?
How do you use nutritional yeast flakes?
Use nutritional yeast flakes anywhere you want savory, cheesy flavor. Sprinkle them straight from the container onto popcorn, pasta, salads, eggs, and roasted vegetables. For sauces, whisk 3 to 4 tablespoons into blended cashews, potatoes, or plant milk to make vegan cheese sauce, queso, or gravy; our Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese recipe is the place to start. They also add depth to scrambled tofu, soups, casseroles, and homemade bread dough.
What is the difference between nutritional yeast flakes and powder?
What is the difference between nutritional yeast flakes and powder?
Flakes and powder are the same ingredient in different textures. Flakes are larger and work best as a topping, where you want to see and taste them on popcorn, pasta, or salads. Powder is finer, packs more into each spoonful, and disappears into smooth sauces. Flakes do both jobs: they hold their texture as a topping and dissolve when whisked into warm liquid, which is why most home cooks choose flakes.
Are Hoosier Hill Farm nutritional yeast flakes fortified?
Are Hoosier Hill Farm nutritional yeast flakes fortified?
Yes. Our nutritional yeast flakes are fortified with B vitamins: thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), vitamin B6, folic acid, and vitamin B12, as listed in the ingredients and on the nutrition facts panel. Fortified nutritional yeast has these vitamins added during production, while unfortified versions contain only what the yeast produces on its own. If you use nutritional yeast as a source of B12 in a plant based diet, fortified is the one to choose.
How should I store nutritional yeast flakes, and can you freeze them?
How should I store nutritional yeast flakes, and can you freeze them?
Store nutritional yeast flakes in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place, like a sealed jar in the pantry. They do not need refrigeration or freezing, and we do not recommend either, because condensation introduces moisture that clumps the flakes and shortens their life. Kept sealed and dry, they stay fresh through the best by date on the container. If you buy the 25 lb bulk size, portion it into airtight containers and keep the rest sealed.
Customers praise this versatile nutritional yeast for its "sharp cheese flavor" and large flake format. Highly rated for use on popcorn, salads, and vegan cheese recipes, with exceptional B-vitamin content. Most appreciate the resealable container and excellent value. Some note the flavor can be overpowering and a few received partially filled containers.

I am grateful company listed nutritional contents. Excellent taste and rich color. 16 oz. is plenty amount for liberty usages, appose to modest/pricy reason. The purchase cost calculates to $.94/oz., while retail heath stores may price high as $5.50/oz. as of July 2022.
Good flavor, good product
Made airfried chicken drumsticks with this as part of the coating instead of breadcrumbs. Came out beautifully.
This is my favorite nooch. The flakes are so BIG (at first - it's pretty much dust by the time you get to the bottom, but nothing you can do about that really), and the price is great for the quantity. I have purchased a couple of other brands at a slightly lower price not realizing that the container was MUCH smaller than this one, so I'm sticking with the from now on. I use it quite a bit and it lasts me a good while. Tastes amazing. Love it. (1c measuring cup in photo for reference.)
I have been using Bragg's version and decided to try this one since you get a bit more for the money. I personally prefer the taste of the Bragg more, it seems to have a more cheddary tatse, kind of like those Goldfish snacks. Not saying this brand doesn't taste good, it still has the cheese flavor but just not quite as much. So, it's really subjective, but this route is definitely more economical and easier to store with the container.
I made vegan cheese dip with it and it was really good.
Thumbs up
I absolutely love this Nutritional yeast,, i add it to a lot of dishes, along with eating by the spoonfuls!
Will always keep it on my shelf...
I use this product on everything. It’s absolutely delicious I love it always fresh and last a long time. I highly recommend!
I enjoy tha taste. I've used this in grits, on popcorn, added a bit to ground pork, and eggs.
I love this nutritional yeast! I use it in any place i would use cheese or also in savory sauces. It adds such a depth of flavor of cheese. So funny that the cheese they used to put on fried cheese snack was nutritional yeast lol. My cat loves for me to put a little on her food. She loves it too! You can even use it on popcorn. It is amazing! Great choice for vegans.
Delicious!I felt calmer within a few minutes!
Perfect , but don't know where the fortification is from, how it's made, but, it is perfect otherwise. Like any B vitamin source heating yeast immediately destroys any quality. Always good to use it on cool food smoothie or heap it on in one scoop with out mixing it into warm food. The yeast itself will immediately be absorbed into your biology the moment it is in the mouth. I use this as part of a peppermint tea banana strawberry lemon spirulina zero calorie sweetener smoothie that is like drinking a spirmint liqiud smoothie CHEWING GUM only non-toxic and more flavorable .
This nutritional yeast is DELICIOUS! Scrabbled eggs, meatballs, Scotch eggs, roasted veggies and it's especially vital when making cheese from raw, soaked cashews. Without the seasonings added to make mozzarella, some might taste cheddar, some might taste parmesan. Regardless, if you eat clean and dairy- free, this is a delicious nutritional yeast!
I absolutely love nutritional yeast. It goes on everything in our house. My favorite is on broccoli or cauliflower with a little olive oil in the air fryer. We have this on subscribe and save so we never run out
I like to mix it with good EVOO tastes better than cheese. this is top quality. i keep it in the fridg.
this one is a great choice!
Tastes great on popcorn.
I fancy myself as a bit of a nutritional yeast connoisseur, and this stuff is simply the best.
Great flavor, fresh and tasty. Bulk buying at a great price.Will DEFINETELY order more !!!
I use the product with other morning products to make a drink that helps prevent leg and foot cramps. It has worked for me on arthritic areas as well. If I don't take it for a period of time and my symptoms return, I get relief within two days when I resume my yeast flakes. This order is a repeat order for me and I'm sure it would help most who try it.
I put this stuff on my cat and dogs food and now If I do not have it, my cat will look at me with daggers in his eye, he needs the yeast. it has to be this kind a nice, pure, nutritional yeast., some other I noticed specifically marketed to people for cats and dogs have a garlic flavor, this is not reccommened as the animal doesnt like it straight up.
This is a staple in my (vegan) house. Buying this locally would cost several times more, for some reason. This is a great deal and a good product.
I use this product all the time. Great value. Love the resealable and reusable packaging.
Large mouthed recyclable container. These flakes don't clump and mix easily into your recipes. Really tasty flavor and can be sprinkled directly on food for a cheesy tasting topping. Boosts protein for vegans and anyone seeking healthy alternatives to animal products. Highly recommended!
Great this still has the same price as when I last purchased it! Personally I like nutritional yeast in a larger container for a bigger amount of use. Bragg's right now is $5 in most stores for the teeny containers. This is a nutritious versatile addition to pantry items!
A great alternative to dairy cheese in vegan recipes.
Fresh and great flavor! Will buy again!
I haven't tried it, but the dog loves it on his kibble.
I really lik d this brewers yeast. I found the larger flakes were fantastic I bought this originally because it was a great deal cost wise with the intention of grinding to a powder. I use this for my cats it helps their tummies and immune systems and as an added bonus makes their skin taste bad to bugs! Yes, you heard me correctly adding this to their food will keep bugs away lfes ticks and mosquitoes how fantastic this is naturally offering bug patrol and pets love the taste it's like a treat to them.I personally will sprinkle on popcorn but I mainly buy for the kiddos oh they stay indoors but I always know there is potential that something could enter the house and I offers me peace of mind I don't have to bathe my cats and make them traumatized or give them purely awful chemicals that can also harm them naturally I help my fur babies.But yes this product I'd great it has a secure lid I can reach in and grab a pinch or a scoop however much I need the container is sealed and versatile to user. The nutritional value is exceptional too.No no one has paid me for this but just want my fur babies healthy and happy.
