OUCH!! energy, fuel and time!! Nutritional yeast is also marketed in the
USA as Torula yeast in some of the HFS I have been in. I know I have
purchased it and it tastes just like nutrional yeast to me. I think the
reson for the confusion between Brewer's Yeast and Nutirional yeats is that
as I understand it, the main use that is made of Brewer's yeast is as a
nutritional supplement. I understand some people actually mix it with
things and drink it. I think this sounds dddiiiisssggguuussstttiiinnnnggg,
but then, we are all different and I like variety in people.
SO I am wondering if what we call nutritional yeast in the USA is marketed
under a different name in other countries, such as torula. And if what we
call Brewer's Yeast is marketed in other countries as nutrional yeast.
And when any of you do find this product, some of it dissoled in boiling
water makes a very nice hot drink. I also use it as a substitute for
chicken stock.
