Source and Processing
Quantum’s nutritional yeast flakes is grown from a pure strain of Saccharomyces Yeast (not contaminated or accidental wild strains) It has been tested to ensure it is candida albicans negative and gluten free.
It is grown on Molasses, avoiding the use of industrial sludge or refined sugar - a common practice amongst many nutritional yeast producers. It is devoid of sugar and artificial colors or flavors.
It has been carefully dried on roller drums to minimize the drying time and avoid mega high heat used in most pasteurized nutritional yeast flake products.
While this product is not raw (heated above 135°F), Raw Fusion highly recommends this product to vegans and vegetarians to ensure they have an adequate supply of B12.
Benefits
Nutritional yeast is a truly amazing source of many nutrients packed into one food. This is because nutritional yeast is a complete protein containing more protein than meat and is much more bio-available. The best nutritional yeast is grown on mineral-enriched molasses. The yeast absorbs the minerals from the molasses, providing possibly the best natural food form of minerals available to humans.
Another type of nutritional yeast, brewers yeast, is not a primary grown yeast but a by-product of the beer brewing industry. Brewers yeast has a bitter flavor from hops and may contain impure yeast strains encountered during the brewing process. Quantum Rx Nutritional Flakes contains only a pure yeast strain. Nutritional Flakes contains 18 amino acids (forming complete protein) and 15 minerals. It is rich in B-complex vitamins. Add a tablespoon daily to food for optimal health.
