FYI: You can usually find nutritional yeast flakes and nutritional yeast powder side by side in the bulk food bins of whole food and now some other &quot;conventional&quot; grocery stores which have bulk food sections, usually near the flour. I&#39;m surprised they didn&#39;t point you in that direction, perhaps your local wf doesn&#39;t stock it there? The flakes and powder do impart a different final texture to foods, the extent to which depends on the recipe. We use both for different applications, but we always have a huge bag of each in the pantry! Also, in a recipe calling for flakes, you can use half as much powder, as it is much denser. Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-20518754415857551872010-01-30T21:04:10.856-05:002010-01-30T21:04:10.856-05:00My friend introduced this to me; she always put it on her popcorn.

Please note that there may be concerns for a diet which contains too much Nutritional Yeast, due to elevated levels of glutamic acid (i.e. MSG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid_(flavor)#Research_into_health_effects)<br /><br />I&#39;m not disparaging the stuff -- in fact, I find it quite difficult to resist throwing an extra tablespoon in here and there.<br /><br /> Just be careful out there, everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-27444448890903980512010-01-30T02:54:12.372-05:002010-01-30T02:54:12.372-05:00I am totally in love with nutritional yeast, too. I eat it on popcorn almost every night. Sometimes I get such a craving for it that I just eat a bit on a spoon. Crazy good. ~KristaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-79994726170574883802010-01-29T20:37:55.704-05:002010-01-29T20:37:55.704-05:00I had a really similar experience! Got a nutritional yeast from a packet in the health food store, and it was just sour and icky. Then I found a tub of Engevita and it was great! Except the store I got that from doesn&#39;t stock it anymore... shall be keeping an eye out for this Kal kind now!Hannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-70910544014902386452010-01-29T18:39:46.737-05:002010-01-29T18:39:46.737-05:00God, I love nutritional yeast! I pretty much eat it with lunch or dinner every day. If breakfast is a tofu scramble, there&#39;s a possibility that I have it with all three meals. Glad to see you embracing it!Glue and Glitterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04533322895055523713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086144421693901605.post-13120906030815690972010-01-29T16:17:52.036-05:002010-01-29T16:17:52.036-05:00Krista,<br />Yup, edward and sons link:<br /><br />http://www.edwardandsons.com/reo_shop_pastas.itml<br /><br />sooo good and easy!

My fave use for it is on popcorn. Pop 1/2 c popcorn in olive oil. Sprinkle salt, galic powder and nutritional yeast on the popped kernels.
