Organic Nutritional Yeast Flakes
What They Are
BIOREAL® Organic Nutritional Yeast Flakes are deactivated organic yeast flakes made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on organic grain substrates. Once harvested and gently dried, the yeast becomes inactive — leaving a light, golden flake with a naturally savoury, slightly cheesy flavour.
They’re used across both food manufacturing and culinary applications as a natural flavour enhancer, nutrient source, and clean-label ingredient. Rich in protein, B-vitamins, and minerals, they deliver body and depth without synthetic additives or animal ingredients

How they’re made
BIOREAL Organic Yeast Flakes are produced under strictly controlled organic fermentation:
Cultivation: Food yeast is grown on organic cereal or molasses medium with oxygen and warmth.
Harvest: The yeast is separated, washed, and gently pasteurised to deactivate it (no fermentation activity remains).
Drying: The yeast is rolled into flakes and low-temperature dried to preserve nutrients and natural flavour.
This process ensures a pure, natural ingredient with full nutritional integrity

FAQs
Are these flakes fortified with extra vitamins?
No. BIOREAL Yeast Flakes are non-fortified — their nutritional profile is naturally occurring.
Do they contain gluten or common allergens?
No. Produced on certified gluten-free organic substrates; free from dairy, egg and soy.
How do they differ from yeast extract?
Flakes are whole, deactivated yeast used for flavour and nutrition; yeast extract is the soluble taste fraction used mainly as a savoury flavouring.
What is the best way to add them?
Blend directly into dry mixes or sprinkle as a topping; for liquids, disperse while mixing to avoid clumping.
Label declaration
Declare as “Yeast flakes” or “Organic yeast flakes” (check local labelling rules).
