What is nutritional yeast?
We’re so happy you like it!
Hi, Dianne,
Nutritional Yeast is a flavor enhancer used in a lot of Vegan and Raw Food dishes because of the great nutrition it adds to your food. Here’s the information from the website of the brand that we use:

We found ours locally at Sprouts. There is a store locator on that site, under the PRODUCTS tab.
I hope this helps!! ;)
Leftover from the making of molasses. Tastes like Parmesan cheese.
Thank you for the information.
