What is the Difference Between Yeast and Nutritional Yeast?
- Nutritional yeast and active dry yeast are not interchangeable ingredients.
- Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that is used, especially by vegans, to thicken sauces and mimic the flavor of Parmesan cheese.
- Active, dry yeast is an activated yeast usually included in breads to make them rise.
