It is an excellent source of protein and vitamins, especially the B-complex vitamins. It is also naturally low in Fat and Sodium . Some brands of nutritional yeast, though not all, also contain Vitamin B12 , which is rare in non-animal sources. Nutritional yeast has a nutty, cheesy, creamy flavor which makes it popular as an ingredient in cheese substitutes. Another popular use is as a topping for Popcorn . Some progressive movie theaters are beginning to offer it along with salt or cayenne pepper as popcorn condiments. It comes in the form of a yellow powder similar in texture to cornmeal, or in flakes, and can usually be found in the bulk aisle of most natural food stores. In Australia it is sometimes sold as "savory yeast flakes". More than 1000 species of yeast are used for beer and wine and bread.
