It's good sprinkled on lots of stuff, cereal, salads etc. The yeast I've got comes in a fine-flake form, mixes easily unlike the powder.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/02/26, 01:23 PM Brewer’s yeast is a rich source of many nutrients, including protein, some B vitamins, phosphorus, and chromium. The protein content of yeast accounts for slightly more than half of its weight. (If you are vegetarian by the way, and excellent protein source). Brewers yeast may help Diabetes, hypoglycemia, high cholesterol, eczema, nervousness, fatigue, and constipation. I believe it is best taken on an empty stomach unless indigestion occurs; then take with food. We used to mix it in a glass of water back in the "old days" and chug it down.:big_smile: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Sometimes I even add blackstrap molasses. It's from the "old days" for sure, but really pure. -------------- \"A will finds a way\" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

A lot of what's out there is in a fine powder, drives you crazy trying to mix it, gets real sticky & gummy. Get the flaked form.
