Fortified Yeast

October 16, 2023

Fortified yeast refers to yeast that has been enriched with specific nutrients, typically B vitamins. Yeast is a natural source of B vitamins, especially B-complex vitamins like B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). These vitamins play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including metabolism, energy production, and nervous system health.

Fortifying yeast with B vitamins is a way to enhance its nutritional content, making it a more potent dietary supplement. This fortified yeast can be used in various culinary applications, such as baking, brewing, and as a nutritional supplement.

Individuals who may benefit from consuming fortified yeast with B vitamins include:

Vegetarians and Vegans

Yeast, especially nutritional yeast, is a popular source of vitamin B12, which is primarily found in animal products. Vegan s and some vegetarian s who don’t consume dairy or eggs may rely on fortified yeast to meet their B12 needs.

Individuals with Dietary Restrictions

People with specific dietary restrictions or allergies that limit their intake of certain foods may turn to fortified yeast as a source of essential B vitamins.

Those with Certain Medical Conditions

Some medical conditions, such as celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, and certain gastrointestinal disorders, can interfere with the absorption of B vitamins. Fortified yeast can provide an alternative source for individuals with these conditions.

People Seeking Nutritional Boost

Fortified yeast can be a convenient way to increase B vitamin intake for individuals looking to enhance their overall nutritional status.

It’s important to note that while fortified yeast is a good source of B vitamins, it should not be the sole source of nutrition. A balanced diet with a variety of foods is essential for meeting all of the body’s nutritional requirements.

Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet or starting a new supplementation regimen, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual needs.

Ready to try some FORTIFIED YEAST Parma! at your next meal?!

“I was excited when I first learned that nutritional yeast made a great topping for popcorn. I’d only been enjoying that combo for about six months when I then discovered something even better. Recently learned about a woman-owned company called Sister River foods that makes products based on nutritional yeast but finessed with other ingredients.”

From Barbara Payne, Editor at Food and Drink Chicago about how much they LOVED Parma!

  I simply love bacon Parma!!  I use on eggs, in macaroni salad, and on microwaved ears of buttered corn (my fav!).  I am on a strict low sodium diet, as well as being allergic to meat from hooved animals so Parma! is perfect for me without any sacrifice of bacon taste.  I just got some of the Jalapeno bacon and it's delish too!  I'll be a repeat customer without doubt.

  This product is approved by my whole family including my 3, 6 and 7 year old.  We love to put in on popcorn or on top of noodles.  Clean, healthy ingredients.  Perfect for anyone or those who want to be WFPB, no oil or added sugar!

  Parma, plant-based parmesan, is one of the best foods I've found. I tried the Better Than Bacon flavor because I did not want cheese that triples your risk of breast cancer. Parma tasted good and it's nutritional yeast is packed with vitamins, minerals and all essential amino acids making it a complete protein like animal products.

A study found people eating nutritional yeast were 25% less likely to catch colds than those not eating it. Other studies linked nutritional yeast to better moods and less fatigue after exercising. And, Parma offers other great for you ingredients, too.

  Hands down my go to "sprinkle it on everything" condiment! The OG flavor is super tasty but the jalapeno bacon is also amazing- It's especially good on my roasted sweet potato & eggs breakfast!

  Bacon freak comes clean:  I used to be a total baconhead, then I went vegan. I thought I was doomed to a life without bacon, but I was willing to do it for my animal friends. Then I discovered Better Than Bacon. Hoohah! I slather this stuff on everything and buy the big cans, five or ten at time. Jonesing for your clean bacon fix? Grab a can and splarge it across whatever you're having. With Better Than Bacon, you are Good. For. Life.
