Nutritional yeast...

[Digger]

I tried it twice and got an upset stomach each time... it's a shame, because now the smell of it turns my belly - and I hear so many good things about it!

I've had a bad acne breakout since I started using it and I hope it's just a coincidence... but it may not be because in the past large doses of niacin have made me break out... and nutritional yeast is fortified with lots of niacin.

Does anyone notice a difference in taste between the flakes and powder? Besides measuring of course.
My NFS has it in tubs in the refrigerated section, and I always got the flakes by chance- never noticed the powder. The last time I got the powder by accident> I liked a LOT. I don't know if I just adjusted to liking it, or the powdered has a slightly different taste.
They're both Red Star brand.

I've never had the powder version. Actually, I didn't even know there was a powder version .

I didn't either, which is how I got it! Right next to the flakes!
It's half the amount of flakes, which may be why some people dislike some recipes, I believe.

Maybe it's more concentrated flavor-wise. Might be a bit strong?

I would guess that the flakes just take up more volume, so you would end with less nooch in a spoonful of flakes than in the same spoonful of powder.

That sucks! Biotin makes me break out really badly.
I haven't had a problem with the nutritional yeast, but I don't use it very frequently.
