Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container

I buy this about once every three months. They'd go a lot longer if I didn't love them so much. 1. I read a review saying these aren't as flavourful as Engevita. That's probably true. But at my local shops its about £4-£6 for 100g of Engevita, so that would make it £40-£60 for 1kg, which is insane. So this is really good value for money, because I get this for about £17. 2. The bucket's a good quality, and it's reusable. I use the old ones to store dried peppers, mushrooms, bath items, etc. The bucket has a handle so it's actually useful for household items etc. and the sticker peels off really easily so you can add a new one. The sticker doesn't really look like the photo supplied, though, and covers only a small part of the bucket. Not a big deal, and actually helps. 3. Easy to open and use. I scoop out what I need into a shaker. A supplied spoon or something would be nice? 4. The palate of the nutritional yeast is good. You can use it in a lot of different dishes, it's really versatile. I use it for mac and cheese, on toast, to top food and potatoes (particularly soups), garnish salads and sandwiches, on baked beans (!!), in sauces. When I'm really scraping the bottom of the financial barrel, I put this on rice with some wasabi. You can also put it on popcorn! 5. The quality of the nutritional yeast itself is good. I've never noticed anything except nutritional yeast in the pack itself, it's always sealed with a plastic cover outside the bucket itself, and it's always filled up to the top. 6. As far as the nutrients in the item itself, I think it's just as good as any store bought nutritional yeast. I can't of course tell for sure, but it satisfies my cravings for it well enough that I'm fairly sure it's actually hitting the spot, because I really crave B12 if I don't have this stuff. It's produced in the UK, so it's helpful to know that it's likely subject to the UK's strict rules on food labelling (at least, it puts me at ease).

An essential part of the storecupboard for any vegan. These flakes have a lovely cheesy, savoury, flavour. You can use them in most of the same places where you would normally sprinkle grated cheese. Sandwiches, pizzas, salads, sauces, soups, roasted vegetables etc. etc... I know several non-vegans who keep these flakes simply because they are nice. I buy a few products made by 'Special Ingredients'... they are just that... specialist ingredients that you don't always find on supermarket shelves... This pot is better value than Engevita... The flavour is slightly different, but neither better or worse... A pot of this size lasts for ages. If you've never tried it before then you should give it a go and experiment with it.

Nutty taste

Good value for money. It does not taste as strong or savoury as other brands but still does its job and it is good to add to soups and sauces. The tub seals well so it stays fresh for months.

I love this. It is a healthy & tasty addition to pasta and soups. I part boil my chips, then put a little oil on them and smother in this extract and finish off in my air fryer (I imagine they work just as well on a tray in the over) adding just a little salt to taste. They make the tastiest cheesy chips ever and so good for you

1 star for taste only unfortunately, not quality of packaging or value for money (with regards to quantity). This product was inedible to me because of taste and also texture. I’ve been vegan for 10 years and only recently got the idea to buy the expensive ingredient nooch in bulk. I am used to the Engevita and Bosh brands which I find delicious and use daily in place of sprinkled cheese. I was hopeful about trying this product and saving some money. But it is not a pleasant taste (though smell was fine to me) and I’ll have to keep spending £4 for 100g in my local supermarket. I am granting a star for the fact that my money was refunded without any fuss so I’m grateful for that.

This big tub of nutritional yeast was a great price, well packaged and delivered quickly

A much cheaper alternative to Engevita but the flavour simply isn't the same. It is quite unpalatable. Rather than adding a nutty, cheesy taste to dishes, it provides an overpowering taste of something akin to sawdust. The price, packaging, and nutritional density is excellent, but the taste is so unpleasant. However, my two friends, who have reduced senses of taste after COVID, couldn't tell the difference between this and Engevita. So, it will definitely work well for those with less sensitive taste buds!
