For strict vegans who continue to maintain the belief that yeast is a living organism/animal and thus should be avoided, the alternative option is nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is usually sold in health food stores in the form of flakes, granules, and powder. Yeast should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light. This helps to preserve its nutritive value. Learn how to use nutritional yeast at www.blendofbites.com. | healthy ingredients
