How to use nutritional yeast
What inactive dry yeast flakes are obtained from
Unlike the yeast used in baking bread, which is activated, the cells in dry yeast flakes are deactivated following a special process.
The final product is presented and packaged in the form of inactive dry yeast flakes, making it ideal for vegans and vegetarians.
What are we looking for inactive dry yeast flakes:
♥ They are a rich and complete source of protein
Inactive yeast flakes contain the new essential amino acids found in animal proteins.
That’s why they’re one of the few vegan options that qualify as a complete protein.
Fortunately, two tablespoons of dry dormant yeast flakes contain 10 grams of protein.
This means that it not only ensures satiety, but also helps maintain healthy muscle tone.
♥ They are a healthy source of fiber
Two tablespoons of dry dormant yeast flakes contain 4 grams of solid fiber.
In addition to providing satiety, fiber is necessary to promote digestive health.
They provide us with regular intestinal transit.
♥ They are rich in antioxidants
Inactive dry yeast flakes have a high concentration of antioxidants, especially glutathione.
It is essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress and removing toxins from the body.
As we age, antioxidant production decreases and we need increased glutathione intake.
♥ Nutritional yeast flakes are a rich source of vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of red blood cells and maintaining the health of the nervous system.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia and can underlie neurological conditions.
Normally, we obtain this vitamin from animal products (eggs, dairy), but also from plant products.
That’s why vegans and vegetarians need an extra source of vitamin B12.
This may consist of dry dormant yeast flakes that are vegan.
Two tablespoons every two days is enough to provide all the necessary vitamin B12.
♥ Stabilizes blood glucose levels
Inactive dry yeast flakes contain low sugar levels, which is why they can help stabilize blood glycemic levels.
This entails:
- reducing cravings for certain foods
- increased energy levels,
- improving sleep
- lowering the risks of metabolic diseases.
♥ Helps reduce cholesterol
Inactive dry yeast flakes contain beta glucan, a type of fiber that helps reduce cholesterol levels.
Beta glucan is known for its heart health benefits; It is also found in certain cereals (barley, oats).
