WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL YEAST? Nutritional yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast grown for food and subsequently inactivated.

During inactivation, the yeast loses its ability to reproduce and ferment. It therefore no longer makes dough rise and is not the same as baker's yeast or sourdough starter.

Nutritional yeast is used as a nutritious food ingredient and seasoning. It does not need to be activated or specially prepared—the flakes can be added directly to food.

HIGH IN PROTEIN 100 g of NEUTRALO contains 26 g of protein.

Protein:

• contributes to the growth of muscle mass;
• contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass;
• contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

HIGH IN FIBRE 100 g of the product contains 19 g of fibre.

NATURALLY OCCURRING B VITAMINS AND MINERALS NEUTRALO nutritional yeast naturally contains B vitamins and minerals: vitamins B1 and B2, niacin, folate, magnesium, zinc and iron. These nutrients are not added to the product.

NATURALLY OCCURRING FOLATE 10 g of the product contains approximately 120 µg of folate.

Folate:

• contributes to the normal function of the immune system;
• contributes to normal blood formation;
• contributes to normal psychological function;
• contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism;
• contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue;
• has a role in the process of cell division.

The claims concerning protein and folate are presented in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 establishing a list of permitted health claims made on foods.

NATURALLY OCCURRING YEAST BETA-GLUCANS Beta-glucans are fibres naturally found in yeast cell walls. An independently tested batch of the product contained:

• approximately 410 mg of beta-glucans per 5 g of product;
• approximately 820 mg of beta-glucans per 10 g of product;
• 8.2% of the product by weight in total.

NEUTRALO is a suitable choice when you want a nutritious everyday food rather than another food supplement.

These nutritional yeast flakes may be relevant when:

• you want more plant-based protein and fibre in your diet;
• you want to supplement your daily diet with naturally occurring B vitamins, including folate, and minerals;
• you are looking for an everyday food to support the normal function of the immune system;
• you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet;
• the flavour of standard nutritional yeast seems too intense;
• you are looking for a mild seasoning for porridge, yoghurt, soups or children's meals;
• you want to improve the nutritional value of a dish without significantly changing its flavour;
• a lower salt content is important to you.

Nutritional yeast is not intended only for vegans. It can be included in a varied daily diet as flakes, a seasoning or an additional ingredient in a dish.

Bioguto NEUTRAL was born from the search for nutritional yeast that would be easy to incorporate into everyday family meals.

We wanted flakes with a milder taste that wouldn't overpower food and would appeal even to those who find regular nutritional yeast too intense.

We chose an inactive yeast raw material produced in Germany with rice flour and a small amount of sea salt.

MILD TASTE AND CRUNCHIER TEXTURE

The rice flour in the composition was chosen for a reason – it contributes to the crispiness of the flakes and their characteristic taste.

Therefore, NEUTRAL:

• has a milder taste;
• less overpowers other ingredients;
• goes well with both sweet and savory dishes;
• suitable for porridges, yogurt, smoothies, and children's food;
• contains only 1% salt.

LABORATORY-TESTED BETA-GLUCAN CONTENT

We didn't want to limit ourselves to general information about the composition of nutritional yeast, so we tested the beta-glucan content in an independent laboratory.

The tested batch of NEUTRAL was found to contain approximately 410 mg of beta-glucans per 5 g of product.

CLEAR COMPOSITION

The product contains 69% inactive yeast, 30% rice flour, and only 1% sea salt.

The product is manufactured without the use of GMOs.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND FROMAGO?

Both products are nutritional yeast flakes, but they differ in taste, yeast processing, salt content, and beta-glucan content.

Yeast processing
NEUTRAL– inactive yeast
FROMAGO– autolyzed inactive yeast

Taste
NEUTRAL– mild, slightly savory
FROMAGO– richer, more pronounced, umami

Yeast content
NEUTRAL– 69%
FROMAGO– 65%

Rice flour
NEUTRAL– 30%
FROMAGO– 29%

Sea salt
NEUTRAL– 1%
FROMAGO– 6%

Protein (100 g)
NEUTRAL– 26 g
FROMAGO– 27 g

Fiber (100 g)
NEUTRAL– 19 g
FROMAGO– 17 g

Beta-glucans
NEUTRAL– 8.2% (approx. 410 mg/5 g)
FROMAGO– 16.5% (approx. 825 mg/5 g)

Traces of gluten
NEUTRAL– possible
FROMAGO– not specified

Choose NEUTRALwhen a mild, versatile taste, lower salt content, and the ability to add it to porridges, yogurt, smoothies, or children's dishes are important.

Choose FROMAGOwhen you want a more pronounced umami taste, a richer seasoning for sauces, soups, pasta, and a higher content of naturally occurring yeast beta-glucans.

Nutritional yeast flakes can be eaten on their own or added to prepared food.

Adults: use according to your needs and taste. Up to 3 tablespoons per day (approximately 30 g).

Children: start with a pinch and gradually increase to one teaspoon (approximately 5 g).

NEUTRALO can be added to:

• porridge;
• yoghurt or kefir;
• fruit and vegetable smoothies;
• salads;
• soups;
• stews;
• vegetable dishes;
• sauces;
• hummus and other spreads.

To preserve more heat-sensitive nutrients, add the flakes at the end of cooking or sprinkle them over prepared food.

Do not consume if you have a yeast allergy or sensitivity to any of the product's ingredients.

When first giving to a child or infant, start with a small amount and observe individual tolerance.

Store in a sealed package, in a dry and cool place.

We choose packaging solutions that help better protect the product while allowing for more responsible management of packaging waste after use.

Jar

The product is packaged in an amber glass jar. Darker glass helps protect the product from light, and glass is an infinitely recyclable packaging material.

Lid

An aluminum lid is used. Aluminum is also recyclable, so after use, it is recommended to sort it separately from the glass jar.

Label

The label for this product is made from special water-soluble paper. It dissolves in ordinary tap water within seconds, so the label can be easily washed off before sorting the jar.

HOW TO SORT THE PACKAGING?

Before sorting, we recommend emptying the jar completely.

Amber glass jar– into the glass container.

Aluminum lid– into the metal and plastic packaging container.

Label– wash off with water.

Yes, but to preserve more heat-sensitive vitamins, it is recommended to add the flakes before eating, when the dish is no longer being heated.

How does NEUTRALO differ from FROMAGO?

NEUTRALO is milder and has only 1% salt. FROMAGO has a more pronounced umami taste, contains 6% salt, and about twice as many beta-glucans.
