Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning - Vegan, Gluten Free - Good Source Of Protein And Vitamins - Nutritious And Tasty Substitute For Parmesan Cheese (Original, 12 oz (Pack of 1))

I bought this to use as a cheese substitute in cooking/breads. I will say, not a great substute in breads. Where it has a savory, cheddar bay buscuit flavor, you NEED some cheddar in it too, but honestly, it would make some delicious cheddar bay biscuits.. i digress. I also wanted to try this in mac and cheese. This has a very "nutty/umami" flavor profile. It definitely tastes more like parmesan than cheddar, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. If making mac & cheese, I would think that milk powder would need to be used in conjunction with this powder, otherwise, flavor would not likely be as "right". Ingredients are solid, and it's a surprisingly fortified mixture. The package is not huge, but if you don't use a lot at a time, it will last for several meals. I've used under 1/10th of the bag on 2 or 3 meals, already. I would say it's a decent value for the cost. It's a great substitute for parmesan in alfredo sauce, it does taste a bit different, but not bad. Interesting product, very savory, almost nutty flavor that most closely resembles parmesan, when cooked, it has a creamier texture, not gritty.

Tastes good. Better than what I expected. Great on popcorn!

I’ve been a vegetarian for years, and if I had to pick just one pantry item I genuinely cannot live without, Bragg Nutritional Yeast is easily at the top of the list. First off, the flavor is incredible. It has this wonderfully savory, nutty, "cheesy" umami richness that makes just about everything taste better. I sprinkle it heavily on fresh popcorn, stir it into pasta, blend it into cashew-based cheese sauces, and dust it over roasted vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. Calling it a Parmesan substitute almost sells it short—it has its own distinct, crave-worthy flavor that satisfies that salty-cheesy craving without feeling heavy. Beyond the taste, the nutritional profile is a massive win for anyone on a plant-based diet. It’s naturally packed with complete protein, fiber, and fortified with essential B vitamins (especially B12, which can be tricky to get enough of as a vegetarian). It genuinely feels good knowing that something adding so much flavor to my dinner is also giving my body clean, energizing nutrients. The 12oz resealable pouch is the perfect size. It seals tight to keep the flakes fresh and dry, and it lasts a decent amount of time even with daily use (though in my house, we go through it pretty fast!). If you’re plant-based, dairy-free, or just someone who loves rich, savory flavors, don’t hesitate to try this. It’s an easy 5 stars for me!

Great product. I sprinkle it on my meals - especially on my salads. I prefer to buy in bulk and take advantage of the lower cost per ounce. What a great way to get more B vitamins into your diet, and it adds a nice flavor.

Much better than my last brand. Have tried several. NOW brand has been a fav’ but price kept going up. Good taste. Love nutritional yeast. Enjoyed it for at least 2 decades.
