Nutritional yeast is not the same as brewers yeast, they are from differing strains of yeast. Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast. The word "Saccharomyces" comes from Greek and means "sweet mold." Brewers yeast contains much more vitamins and minerals.
brewers yeast is a universal dietary supplement with a variety of applications. It is suitable for vegetarians and athletes due to its rich content of vitamins and protein (44%), and for people on diets, because it’s low-fat (2%).

It has a specific nutty taste, often used as a Parmesan substitute in vegan recipes. It can be consumed alone or dissolved in milk, water, fruit or vegetable juice or sprinkled on soups, braised dishes, and salads to enhance their taste. Ideal for popcorn, stewed potatoes, pasta or tofu.
