How our nutritional yeast is made: Hoosier Hill Nutritional Yeast is primary from pure strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on mixtures of cane and beet molasses. After the fermentation process is completed,"Cream yeast" is heated by means of a heat exchanger and held at pasteurization temperatures for a period long enough to inactivate the yeast. During this holding period, all necessary vitamins are added to meet the requirements of the specific type of nutritional yeast produced. The yeast is then drum dried before it is ground and packaged. The drying process assures that all the cells are inactivated in order for the full nutritional benefits to be available.
