Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 The terms brewer's yeast and nutritional yeast are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Basically, nutritional yeast is any yeast grown for the specific purpose of being a food supplement, Conboy explains. While it might be a brewer's yeast, it could also be yeast from another species. Brewer's yeast is used as a nutritional yeast when it's grown in the presence of vitamin B12 and other nutrients. It can have a wide range of nutritional values, depending on the species of yeast and on what medium it was grown in, such as grain or sugarcane sap. Some yeasts are grown with a high chromium content, for example, while others have a high selenium content. http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/23/15.cfm , " Sarah Navarro " <navarrosarah wrote: > > Is brewers yeast the same thing as nutritional yeast flakes?
