I also looked in the refrigerated section near the say cheeses. Where would I find nutritional yeast in a store?? Thanks!

Not really with the spices, but a bit down from the spices in that aisle. Also, look in the bulk foods. Some stores carry it there. Red Star is the brand I buy. There is also a product called "Parma" that uses nutritional yeast and some other things to create a sprinkle type "cheese" that has a taste similar to parmesan. It's very good. Actually I have never cared much for parmesan cheese, but I do like the Parma Chipolte Cayenne. Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

At Whole Foods and at my local health food store, I can find it in the bulk section, along with the grains and beans. I've also seen it in the baking section which is a mystery to me. I would simply ask. And be sure you say Nutritional yeast, otherwise someone may point to brewer's yeast. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

Posted Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 4:51 PM I asked at the co-op market and it was in the bulk scoop bins - which is really cool because I can buy a few tablespoons at a time or cups at a time. They keep their baking yeast in the fridge in the produce section and the brewer's yeast with the vitamins and supplements (if I remember that one correctly - I haven't looked for that one in a while). --Deb

Was surprised to find it in the bulk section refrigerator. I asked and was told that they recommend that it be stored in the fridge. I hadn't heard that before but I do now keep in a tight container in the fridge.

Posted Monday, September 27, 2010 at 10:15 AM I had to ask for it at Whole Foods and was surprised to be told it was in the nutritional supplements section - near the vitamins.

Posted Monday, September 27, 2010 at 10:24 AM Make sure that what they told you is for nutritional yeast, not brewer's yeast which is used as a nutritional supplement. What's the deal with the three different types of yeast anyhow? Anyone know where they come from, why they're different, that sort of info? --Deb

Posted Monday, September 27, 2010 at 12:01 PM Deb - I tried to look up a webpage that explained it all and can't find the one I remember once reading. Basically, the different types of yeast are grown on different "feed" for different purposes. Nutritional yeast is "deactivated". I guess that means it won't cause fermentation or leavening if you add it to dough or juices At Kroger's this weekend in the healthfood section, I found Bragg's brand nutritional yeast next to the organic spices and aluminum-free baking powder. I didn't even know Bragg's made some. I checked and it does contain B12. Even though I'm stocked up thanks to the bulk section at WF, I bought some just to taste test.
