Inactive and instant yeast may seem similar at first glance, but they are quite different. Inactive or nutritional yeast has a very pleasant, slightly sweet taste reminiscent of cheese or nuts. It cannot be used for making leavened dough. Baker's yeast is not suitable for direct human consumption, but can be consumed in its inactive form with no benefit for supporting candida. It is an important source of B vitamins, containing vitamins B2 and B5, minerals, and iron. The simplest way to consume it is by mixing it into any food or yogurt. Sprinkle it on finished dishes or salads as a seasoning, mix it into smoothies, fruit or vegetable juices. It is perfect for cooked and raw dishes alike. Simply sprinkle it on or mix it in with something. It imparts a very unique cheesy flavor. Besides its delicious taste, it is also highly nutritious, packed with protein, B vitamins, folic acid, magnesium, and zinc.
