My mom handed me a tub of this stuff and said to take it its good for you. Searched online looks like its loaded with b-vitamins chromium, and selenium. Anyone taking this stuff? and how does it work for you?

    I use it a lot since I'm mainly vegetarian. I was actually raised Vegan but I have been vegetarian most of my adult years. One of my favorite ways to use Brewer's yeast is on popcorn. I first spray the popcorn with olive oil and then sprinkle the brewers yeast on it.
    I make my own YUM rice dish. I don't know if you have YUM Bowls (restaurant) where you live? We do and they are wonderful. It's a wonderful recipe if you want it, I'll share.

    Here's that YUM sauce. It's actually called Heavenly Sauce, but it tastes almost exactly like the YUM BOWLS.

    yum bowls? I haven't heard of it. what area are you from? Im not sure if they have that here in california. I would give the recipe a try, but it doesnt fit into my diet at the moment. maybe i'll give it a try after the summer. I'll try maybe mixing it with my protein shake in the morning one day

    I'm from the Northwest. (Oregon, Willamette Valley) It might be a local place but I thought it was a franchise. The YUM bowls are so good. People are always trying to copy their sauce and this is the closest I've found to the taste of the real YUM sauce.
