Yeast Flakes

Low FODMAP

Tested serving

  • Any typical portion Low

Yeast flakes are Low FODMAP at any typical portion, a protein-rich savory sprinkle with very little fermentable carbohydrate.

  • The flakes are mostly protein with only a trace of fermentable carbohydrate, so no FODMAP group reaches a meaningful level at any typical portion.
  • Nutritional yeast comes as loose flakes or a fine powder with a cheesy, nutty flavor, and anything blended into it can shift the picture, so check added ingredients.

Scatter it over pasta, popcorn, or roasted veg for a savory hit.
