FAQ ABOUT OUR ORGANIC NOOCH SUPERFOOD

What is nutritional yeast?

Nutritional yeast—commonly called "nooch"—is a deactivatedyeast packed with savory, umami-rich flavor. Unlike active yeast used in baking, nutritional yeast doesn’t rise or ferment—it’s simply a nutrient-rich food made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast grown on organic cane sugar, then harvested, heated to deactivate it, and dried into golden flakes. The result? A naturally cheesy, nutty, and umami-rich seasoning that’s completely dairy-free and packed with protein, fiber, and naturally occurring B vitamins. It’s the ultimate flavor booster for plant-based meals, savory snacks, and everyday dishes!

What makes Goldie’s nutritional yeast different from other brands?

Unlike conventional brands that use synthetic fortification, Goldie’s is 100% organic, non-fortified, and high in protein—with 11g of protein per 3 tbsp serving. That means you’re getting clean, naturally occurring nutrients without synthetic B vitamins or fillers.

Why choose non-fortified nutritional yeast?

Many brands add synthetic B vitamins (like folic acid and B12), but some people, especially those with MTHFR gene mutations, have trouble processing synthetic forms. Goldie’s non-fortified nooch provides a cleaner, more natural option with the same great benefits—minus the additives.

Is Goldie’s nutritional yeast actually high in protein?

Yes! With 11 grams of protein per 3 tbsp, Goldie’s packs more protein per serving than leading brands like Bragg’s or Bob’s Red Mill. That makes it a delicious, plant-based way to boost protein in your meals.

Can you eat too much nutritional yeast?

Nooch is nutrient-dense, but like any food, moderation is key. Eating too much nutritional yeast daily may cause mild digestive discomfort due to its fiber content. However, it’s a superfood you can enjoy regularly as part of a balanced diet!

What’s the difference between organic and conventional nutritional yeast?

Most conventional nooch is grown on genetically modified (GMO) sugar beets and often contains synthetic additives. Goldie’s is USDA Organic, non-GMO, and grown on organic cane sugar, ensuring a cleaner, better-for-you product.

What’s the best way to use Goldie’s nutritional yeast?

Sprinkle it on popcorn, pasta, roasted veggies, avocado toast, eggs, salads, soups, or blend it into vegan cheese sauces and dips. Our favorite is making dairy free queso and mac n no cheese made with whole foods (no artificial ingredients). The possibilities are endless!

Is Goldie’s nutritional yeast gluten-free?

Yes! Our organic nutritional yeast is naturally gluten-free and perfect for anyone avoiding gluten.

Is nutritional yeast safe for kids?

Absolutely! Goldie’s is a great source of B vitamins, protein, and fiber for kids and can be added to their favorite meals like mac & cheese, popcorn, and scrambled eggs.

Is Nutritional Yeast a Superfood?

You bet ya! Nutritional yeast isn’t just a seasoning—it’s a superfood packed with 11 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons, making it an easy way to boost daily protein intake. It’s also naturally rich in B vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants like glutathione, which support immune health and detoxification. Unlike fortified brands that contain synthetic additives, Goldie’s is 100% organic and non-fortified, meaning you get pure, clean nutrition without fillers. Whether you're looking to support gut health, enhance energy, or simply add a savory, umami-rich boost to your meals, nooch is a powerhouse ingredient for overall wellness!
