{"product_id":"diatrofiki-magia-nifades-me-b12-vio","title":"Nutritional yeast flakes with B12 ORGANIC","description":"\u003cp\u003eBIO B12 nutritional yeast flakes are a practical ingredient for anyone who loves a rich, savory flavor in everyday recipes. The fine flakes add distinctive umami, work well in many dishes, and require virtually no preparation. They’re a popular choice in plant-based cooking, but can just as easily enhance everyday family meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is nutritional yeast?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is inactive yeast that is deactivated after production and sold as dried flakes. It is not baker’s yeast: it does not make dough rise and cannot replace bread yeast. It is used as a food and flavoring. This product is organic and fortified with vitamin B12, without requiring us to assume any specific nutritional values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor, aroma, and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts flavor is mildly nutty, savory, and rich in umami, with a character often reminiscent of aged cheese. The flakes are light, crumbly, and easy to sprinkle over food. Their color ranges from pale to yellowish hues. Smaller and larger pieces naturally occur together, so the flakes do not all need to be exactly the same shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWays to use it in the kitchen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle nutritional yeast over pasta, rice, baked potatoes, vegetables, and salads. Add it to soups, mashed potatoes, dips, sauces, and plant-based creams for a richer result. It also works well on popcorn or roasted chickpeas as a flavorful finishing touch. You can use it after cooking or mix it in during preparation when you want the flavor to spread evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical preparation and proportions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor one serving of pasta, start with one to two teaspoons and adjust to your taste. For a small quantity of sauce, try one tablespoon, stirring well before adding more. For a bowl of popcorn, sprinkle it on gradually so the flakes are evenly distributed. These quantities are cooking suggestions, not specific nutritional serving recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor pairing ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with garlic, black pepper, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/paprika-kapnisti-ispanias\"\u003esmoked paprika\u003c\/a\u003e, olive oil, and lemon. Combined with cashews or almonds, it makes a tasty dry topping for pasta. Mixed with a plant-based drink and a little starch, it makes a flavorful base for a creamy sauce. Try it with thyme or oregano on roasted vegetables. Add small amounts and taste as you go to keep the flavors balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUseful information and tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutritional yeast is not a substitute for baker’s yeast and does not act as a leavening agent. When added to liquids, the flakes soften and blend in more easily. For a more even sprinkle, you can lightly crush them between your fingers. Add it toward the end of recipes when you want its flavor to stand out, rather than being masked by strong seasonings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar secret\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a quick plant-based topping, mix two tablespoons of nutritional yeast with a little ground cashew, a pinch of garlic, and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over hot pasta just before serving. This adds texture and a bold aromatic flavor, without the need to prepare a separate sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore the flakes in a tightly sealed container or bag in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Always use a clean, dry spoon. If you have a known allergy to any ingredient, take care before consuming. Choose the package size that suits how often you use it, and enjoy its distinctive flavor in a range of creative recipes. To make things easier in the kitchen, transfer only the amount you need to a small bowl each time. This keeps the remaining nutritional yeast protected from steam rising from the pot. It is especially useful when you often cook small portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more flavors, aromas, and stories from around the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow Spices Bazaar on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/www.SpicesBazaar.gr\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Aiodigoseyexias\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e for new arrivals, recommendations, and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"250 g","offer_id":54964490600775,"sku":"SB-SUP-58793-0250","price":16.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":54964490633543,"sku":"SB-SUP-58793-0500","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":54964490666311,"sku":"SB-SUP-58793-1000","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/1805\/5751\/files\/spices-bazaar-diatrofiki-magia-b12-bio-top-view.png?v=1791468940","url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/diatrofiki-magia-nifades-me-b12-vio","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
