Why Buy Nutritional Yeast by HSN?
Intense and unique flavour
Inactive yeast has an intense umami flavour.
Umami, despite being the least-known basic taste, is both truly unique and known to be an enhancer of other flavours, bringing out the characteristic taste of salt and spicy ingredients.
Nutritional yeast is used both in recipes and as a condiment thanks to its characteristic taste and because you don't need to cook it before eating it.
In fact, despite being strongly associated with vegan diets, nutritional yeast has been used for decades in American cinemas to add a nutty, cheesy flavour to popcorn.
This flavour is the same reason it's often used as a substitute for powdered cheese on pasta with tomato and cream. Try it out!

I tried it almost out of curiosity and it has become a staple. I love the touch it gives to meals and it also provides a lot of nutrients. The only thing I miss is a larger container to make it more economical.

I liked it very much.

I really liked it. I am a vegetarian and I have a deficit. I need to take supplements and after taking two weeks the tests came back perfect. They are tasteless.

Great value for money and taste (not always the case with others on the market). I am vegan and I use it a lot in recipes of all kinds. I always repeat.

I like it very much!
S.O. 06/09/2025
I had never tried it before and I really liked it. It reminds me a bit of brewer's yeast but this one has a more intense flavor like smoked. I add it to pasta and salads and it gives them a very rich flavor. I'm sure I will repeat.

I love nutritional yeast. It tastes great and the flakes are a little thinner than other brands I'm used to.
