They'd go a lot longer if I didn't love them so much. 1. I read a review saying these aren't as flavourful as Engevita. That's probably true. But at my local shops its about Β£4-Β£6 for 100g of Engevita, so that would make it Β£40-Β£60 for 1kg, which is insane. So this is really good value for money, because I get this for about Β£17. 2. The bucket's a good quality, and it's reusable. I use the old ones to store dried peppers, mushrooms, bath items, etc. The bucket has a handle so it's actually useful for household items etc. and the sticker peels off really easily so you can add a new one. The sticker doesn't really look like the photo supplied, though, and covers only a small part of the bucket. Not a big deal, and actually helps. 3. Easy to open and use. I scoop out what I need into a shaker. A supplied spoon or something would be nice? 4. The palate of the nutritional yeast is good. You can use it in a lot of different dishes, it's really versatile. I use it for mac and cheese, on toast, to top food and potatoes (particularly soups), garnish salads and sandwiches, on baked beans (!!), in sauces. When I'm really scraping the bottom of the financial barrel, I put this on rice with some wasabi. You can also put it on popcorn! 5. The quality of the nutritional yeast itself is good. I've never noticed anything except nutritional yeast in the pack itself, it's always sealed with a plastic cover outside the bucket itself, and it's always filled up to the top. 6. As far as the nutrients in the item itself, I think it's just as good as any store bought nutritional yeast. I can't of course tell for sure, but it satisfies my cravings for it well enough that I'm fairly sure it's actually hitting the spot, because I really crave B12 if I don't have this stuff. It's produced in the UK, so it's helpful to know that it's likely subject to the UK's strict rules on food labelling (at least, it puts me at ease). Review: Great Product - An essential part of the storecupboard for any vegan. These flakes have a lovely cheesy, savoury, flavour. You can use them in most of the same places where you would normally sprinkle grated cheese. Sandwiches, pizzas, salads, sauces, soups, roasted vegetables etc. etc... I know several non-vegans who keep these flakes simply because they are nice. I buy a few products made by 'Special Ingredients'... they are just that... specialist ingredients that you don't always find on supermarket shelves... This pot is better value than Engevita... The flavour is slightly different, but neither better or worse... A pot of this size lasts for ages. If you've never tried it before then you should give it a go and experiment with it. ## Features - Use to make cheese sauces, cream cheese and as a seasoning - Use to increase the creaminess of soup and sauces - Create Vegan traditional cheese dishes - Nutritionally rich in vitamins and minerals, a source of various B vitamins - Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, - Non-Fortified ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09BK31WY7 | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,216 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 6 in Nutritional Yeast | | Brand | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS | | Brand Name | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS | | Container Type | Bag | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Cuisine | Western cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 195 Reviews | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Weight | 5000 Grams | | Item form | Flake | | Item weight | 5000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Special Ingredients Ltd | | Model Number | 5056191010286 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Package information | Bag | | Part Number | 5056191010286 | | Size | 5 kg (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | GMO Free, Gluten Free, Vegan | | Unit Count | 5000.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SPECIAL INGREDIENTS - **Item form:** Flake - **Item weight:** 5000 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Package information:** Bag ## Images ![Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Uhsw9P2SL.jpg) ![Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OXoKJLdoL.jpg) ![Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TDvKj5IqL.jpg) ![Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XpYqTpy2L.jpg) ![Nutritional Yeast Flakes 5kg Premium Quality Vegan Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X0tt--icL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality, reusable container, good value for money. *by C***I on 5 March 2025* I buy this about once every three months.
