brewers yeast

i heard some people talking about brewers yeast and now im curious

obviously i goggled it but does anyone or has anyone actually taken brewers yeast or know any of the benefits from it?

This is totally weird, but if you mix it with chili powder, then sprinkle it on popcorn, it is so, so good.

Try it before you judge me. (It's low in calories, so you don't have anything to lose!)

is this the same thing as nutritional yeast? I see that in a lot of vegetarian recipes and don't really know what it is.

 Nutritional yeast is what makes bread rise. It's the stuff in packets.

haha i know what nutritional yeast is im wonderin about brewers yeast

Nutritional yeast is great on popcorn and has lots of nutritional benefits.

Brewer's yeast has benefits as well - but most people find that it has a much more bitter taste, and isn't as tasty. That has been my experience as well - I've bought brewer's yeast when I couldn't find nutritional yeast, and I ended up throwing it out b/c I thought it was really gross. Go for the nutritional yeast! Much better (cheesy, nutty) flavor.

Brewer's yeast is different from "nutritional" and it tastes very malty. It was huge in 60's when we all discovered "health food." I made a couple of really nutritious milk-shake thingy's back then. One was milk-based and one was tomato juice-based. They were a complete meal and had lots of good things--which would gross most of you young things completely out, dessicated liver, soy flour, wheat germ (which did not dissolve well at all), molasses, raw egg (we could eat them then), and I can't remember what else.

Brewer's yeast is full of all kinds of terrific nutrients including B-vitamins. My parents used it to restore healthy glossy coats to their pets by sprinkling it on their food. Just writing about it brings the taste back, I'd like to have some...I bet GNC carries it.

Now when my mother was a girl, her mother forced them to eat cakes of yeast to keep them healthy. They sounded truly gross to me.

An aquaintence told me to help keep my hairy dog from shedding so much to sprinkle brewers yeast to his food. I haven't tried it yet.

And earth_mom do you remember that song "Junk food Junkie" from the 70's your post reminded me of that LOL
