Brewer's yeast is made of dead yeast cells that have high nutritional value. They are different than the live yeast cells used to make bread. They provide protein, vitamin B, amino acids, and minerals that can supplement your health and assist vegetarians in getting the proteins they need in their diet. Add brewer's yeast to your homemade juices to give them extra nutritional bang and a nutty flavor.
