Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi, all, I have been mostly lurking for a while for inspiration and recipes. It has been very informative. Now I have a couple questions I'd like to ask... 1st -- do you consider store-bought brewers' yeast (nutritional yeast) to be raw or not? 2nd -- has anybody here ever grown/farmed edible blue-green algae? Tnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 " do you consider store-bought brewers' yeast (nutritional yeast) to be raw or not " Brewers and Nutritional Yeast is very different. Whether totally raw or not, NY is considered to be pretty healthy and is SUCH a great addition to a raw diet. Also has B12 (if you can assimilate it ;-) so imho, go for it. Brewers is generally NOT used on raw and is totally different. :-) Erica Albanese School Of RAWk Certified Raw Nutritionist, Health Coach & Raw Chef Freelance Writer & Advanced Practitioner of The Living Foods Lifestyle Eugene, OR (541) 915 - 1995 SchoolOfRAWk www.SchoolOfRAWk.com - Coming Soon!

I use a lot of nutritional yeast. But I try to aim for a diet that is 80 raw veg, 10 non-veg and 10 non-raw, so I was just wondering where to put the credit for it. If it were raw, I could convince myself that it was OK to have a cup of popcorn with it :-). << Brewers is generally NOT used on raw and is totally different. :-) >> I wouldn't eat commercial brewers' yeast because of the vile tasting hops, but some people still say brewers' because back in the day, that was the only edible yeast available. Also, I brew my own wine and ale, without hops or any other nasty additive, and I use and eat that, too, and in that case, it is both brewers' yeast, and nutritional yeast, and raw. But it's also very wet (makes a great marinade). I was just wondering how the people who made commercial edible yeast dried it out. But thanks again for your input.
