What are the differences between brewer's yeast and nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast, also known as nutritional yeast or nooch, is produced from brewer's yeast. The yeast is cultivated for several days on a substrate of glucose from sugar beets and then heated, rendering the yeast inactive. This process distinguishes nutritional yeast from active brewer's yeast.

Is nutritional yeast suitable for vegetarians?
Nutritional yeast is a vegetarian option. Yeasts are microorganisms, a form of fungi, that are used in the fermentation process of dough, contributing to the rising of bread. Since yeasts are single-celled organisms, they do not belong to the animal kingdom. Therefore, both vegetarians and vegans can enjoy both yeast and sourdough bread.
