Marigold Vegan Engevita Nutritional Yeast Flakes with Vitamin B12, 100g (Pack of 3)

Bought this in bulk as I’m addicted to this stuff. A great umami flavour. I sprinkle it onto cottage cheese, soups, salads.

I have tried several other nutritional yeast products but always keep returning to the Marigold Health Foods Engevita Yeast Flakes. It can be used to make 'cheese' flavoured sauces or just sprinkled over salads or roast vegetables. The quality and taste is excellent. Great price point. Highly recommend.

This product is a vegan staple, it's enriched with lots of really good vitamins and minerals that you might be struggling a little to get on a vegan diet. You don't need to add a lot to your food to meet your requirements of a lot of the enriched minerals/vitamins.It has a nutty, cheesy flavour that I think you might be initially disappointed if you've recently turned vegan and heard people rave about it, but the flavour really grows on you. I use it to make vegan cheese sauce, pasties, broccoli and cheese soup, even cheesy mashed potatoes and it adds a delicious, if slightly unique, flavour to all of these foods. Personally not the sort of person who would eat it on it's own, but it's an amazing complimentary flavour.It also lasts for ages, I've been vegan 3 months and have so far used 1 full container and have 2 left (I bought the 3 pack), I will say that my use of it has scaled up as time has gone along as I've started to enjoy the flavour a whole lot more! I would also say that the 3 pack is really good value, and if you're unsure whether you'll like the flavour, unless you add loads, a spoon or so in a pan of soup will go unnoticed and give you a boost of healthy vitamins/minerals.

Is what it is, great for adding flavour

I call Engevita vegan fairy dust. They are magical flakes of yeast that leave you confounded when you realise they taste greater than the sum of their humble and rather strange looking parts.I add this to almost everything, it lends a yeasty, nutty, mushroomy, almost cheesy flavour to anything you add it too. Many will say this is a vegan cheese substitute, but that's doing these humble yeast flakes a huge disservice. For such a small quirky looking flake, they have a strong and complex flavour that tastes like nothing else. It's not comparable to anything.Saying that, I use these as a kind of 'parmesan' on pasta dishes – I grind some cashews in a coffee grinder, add to a bowl, then mix in a generous amount of engevita – about equal parts cashew to engevita, add a touch of salt and pepper.This also makes a convincing nacho 'cheese', or 'cheese' sauce. Blend cashews with almond or soya milk, add salt, pepper, generous squeeze of lemon juice, a large spoonful of tahini and lots of engevita. Blend until smooth and thick. Melted coconut oil, garlic powder and nacho flavourings optional.If you are curious and new to engevita, don't be put off by the smell. It's kind of divisive – you'll like it or hate it. I wouldn't recommend tasting them undiluted if you feel a bit iffy about them. They are strong. Best added to a dish in small quantities, as a kind of stock enhancer.

I use mine as a drink with bouillon and hot water and really like it. I've tried scattering the dry flakes over a bowl of hot chilli con carne (I'm not a vegan nor veggie) and they are like a slightly sour, nutty, sort of cheesy cornflake. Overall they aren't unpleasant, they appear to be good for you so sometimes I do substitute them for cheese but you'd not want to add them to a sandwich or anything and as a lover of a proper mac and cheese I can't imagine they'd make a very convincing cheese sauce.

I really like the taste of this nutritional yeast some can be quite tasteless this isn't and you get a good amount 😋
