NOW Supplements, Nutritional Yeast Powder Fortified with Additional B-Vitamins, 10-Ounce

Hahahahahahahaha! I laugh, because it was not what I had expected. It's not even close to what I had expected! I have read many reviews boasting of its cheese-like tastiness, so I thought to myself "hmmm, I'll give it a whirl for my potatoes & such..." Now, I have been vegan for but a wink of an eye, compared to some out there, however I'm not turning back (perseverance based on moral principle & knowledge of nefarious food source undoings). After a much anticipated weekend wait, I eagerly tore @ the package, to reveal the container beholding the promised flavor enhancer! I had some scrumptious brussel sprouts this afternoon, all sitting pretty in my bowl. I had blissfully gobbled up half of the delightful mini-cabbages when the light bulb over my head flickered into action. "Duh!" I thought. Okay... fast forward *sniff, sniff* Uh, duder... it smells like fish food! *shrug* I'm not one to turn something away because my olfactory sense sneers @ it... *sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle* It does mix well, just as stated by many nutritional yeast eaters before me.... *chew, chew.... c..h..e..w* Well, it tastes like what I imagine fish food would taste like, because it tastes as it smells. Maybe I need time to become more acclimated to this new development in my life before the sensation of "cheese" kicks in. Maybe it never will... My dad said "maybe you need to add cheese to it, to get the cheese flavor" BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAA!! In conclusion, I'm still going to eat it, because I paid for it, because I'm cheap (waste not, want not) & I dig the nutritional value of it. Which, is why I'm giving a whopping four stars. The end! REVIEW UPDATE! Okay, okay... here we are weeks later & I must confess to the slight addiction I feel festering in the bowels of my brain. Hahahaha, brain bowels! I digress.... I eat this stuff EVERY... day! I have some in front of me as I type now, because it's lunch & I'm not without this powdery goodness @ this particular meal. Nor am I sans yeast during the next mealquel (get it? Hahaha!!!). That sounds really funny when you say it out loud! *giggle-snort* Admittedly, I don't enjoy it on everything; such as popcorn. It ACTUALLY tastes like fish food (to me) on my home-pot-burnt kernels. Mmmmmm, there is something magical about burnt popcorn. Such a profound under appreciation for the many levels of complex flavors; separate & then all together. However, I really, really, REALLY enjoy it with my super awesome nori rolls! I mean, WOW! YUM! POW! ZAP! BOFF! WHACK! Hahahaha! I got a little carried away there. Anyway, I uploaded a picture of one of my yum-o lunches. Nori roll with fresh cut up avocado, radishes, onion, ummm... I think some lettuce... I don't know, it changes everyday. I pour a lot of powder in the bottom of a small dish & I dip my roll. It's soooooooooooooooo mmmmmmmmmm! The portion I had in my presence @ the beginning of this product review update, has been gone now since the popcorn topic. In length, it's super delish, dig? ;D P.S: Did you know this is also called "hippie dust"? That's so awesome!

I recently started using nutritional yeast for its vitamin B benefits. After trying several brands, I've found that I love this one the most. I sprinkle it on almost everything, especially my fruit bowl in the morning and sandwiches. It tastes delicious on popcorn as well. When I use it on popcorn, I mix the nutritional yeast with a little olive oil to help it disperse evenly. I enjoy this brand and will continue to order more from this company.

Bought this as a dog nutritionist recommended it as a add on to my dogs food it for added vitamin b lifts there amine system helps digestion it's a pretty big bottle & not overly priced it's powdery not gritty so my dogs love it they just started taking it but I have noticed little changes for the better

I bought this mainly for use on top of popcorn, as I eat so much of the stuff. After enjoying it on that i've tried it on toast, and baked potatoes- and would eventually like to get more creative with what I put it on. It most likely is an acquired taste, but I am with the majority when I feel that it definitely gives off a 'cheesy' flavor ( not exactly cheese, but cheese-like) - and one that I do personally enjoy. the 10 ounces you get go a long way. You only need a tablespoon or so on a gigantic bowl of popcorn...if you overload it and put too much on anything it will hit the back of your throat and cause you to cough, but I don't believe that the product deserves less stars because of that, as that is clearly a 'user error' . If you are trying to eat more 'clean', heathy, or vegan I would definitely recommend getting this stuff as a tasty' 'cheesy treat' you can put on many things or use as a cheese substitute (i've seen it used in a recipe for vegan goldfish crackers!)

If you've only used nutritional yeast flakes, you are missing out. The powder is so much better, especially when using for things like popcorn topping, or really anything other than mixing with liquid. Even my dog and cat love this stuff. It makes an excellent food topper, but my cat will lick the powder right up all by itself. This is a yummy way to get some B vitamin supplementation, too!

This stuff can be used in so many applications for a vegan diet. I put it on popcorn, salads, tofu, and use it to make sauces, like Alfredo sauce or anything that could use a little “cheese” flavor. It’s good for you too, so no guilt in adding it to dishes! I go through about one of these a month and keep going back to this one for its good price and good quality. Never have had issues in the powder looking less than advertised.

I have used this in a couple of recipes while trying to make a cheesy-like flavor for my son's rice-pasta. I purchased it after reading how well it worked in many recipes. After trying the recipes out, it was horrible. My son is a foodie (a very skinny foodie, but a foodie no less) and so I have been searching for new versions of old favorites. The stink of this product made me want to vomit and we had to throw the food away and immediately take out the garbage liner. I don't know if there is a different kind of nutritional yeast that I was supposed to use, but after a few recipes that all stank horribly, I've given up.

I can't even tell you what a game changer this powder has been for me. Never tried a powder before bc I first discovered Nutritional Yeast for a recipe that called for flakes. So been using flakes for years. Well, I may never use flakes again. Here's what powder does that flakes don't. You can sprinkle it like salt, instead of salt, on veggies & it gives it a cheese flavor. You can add it to Mac & Cheese, Pizza, Grilled Sandwiches.. you get the idea and, not only does it really give a bang to the cheesy goodness but adds protein. It really just tastes like cheese but with healthy stuff. Ooh, also so good sprinkled on popcorn. Thank you NOW. You are my first & last Nutritional powder.

It is good one

Very good

I liked it. Taste is like cheese.

I dont like its taste and smell as well
