About the Brand

Bob Moore's secret to life may just be "work hard and keep it simple." Living this philosophy, Bob literally puts his nose to the grindstone every day. Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods is an Oregon-based company that utilizes simple, old-world technology to mill hundreds of all-natural whole grain products.

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."

"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."

Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy and Great Tasting Product November 28, 2008

By Robert Paterson

I have been using nutritional yeast for years, almost every single day, and it not only tastes great but is incredibly nutritious. Our three year old son loves it, and especially likes sprinkling it on pasta--I think he feels empowered, and little does he know that he's literally sprinkling nutrition on his food.

You can sprinkle this on popcorn or other snack foods to impart a cheesy taste, add a tablespoon to smoothies, pasta sauce, bread, or just about any other savory food. If you're looking for a cookbook with recipes that use this, try The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook. It's a little hipped out, but there's a recipe for nutritional yeast cheese that's pretty amazing. There's also The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes, but I would try the Farm cookbook first.

Lastly, these are large flakes, but Frontier Coop online offers 1 pound bags of Nutritional Yeast "mini flakes" which have a finer consistency and sprinkle well from a container with tiny holes (like the kind used to sprinkle powdered sugar). Frontier's prices are also very reasonable, and they offer organic nutritional yeast as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tasting nutritional yeast April 5, 2008

By Christine Holleyman

I've purchased lots of yeast over the years, and many times the taste is so distasteful that it's unfit to eat. This yeast is great because it has a very good taste. I certainly will buy this yeast again. I am probably in the minority here, but I actually like to eat this yeast by the spoonful as a snack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very tasty...and my cat agrees! September 16, 2008

By Evelyn Getchell TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

This is one of the best tasting nutritional yeasts products I've ever tasted and I've been using nutritional yeast for over 30 years. I am vegan and use yeast for its cheesey, nutty flavor. Bob's is guaranteed gluten free as well! One of my favorite meals is a gluten free pasta tossed with a little flax or extra virgin olive oil, Bragg's liquid aminos and Bob's yeast.

I really love it so many ways but interestingly enough I use it more for my 10 year old cat than myself these days! She has adored nutritional yeast since she was a kitten and I sprinkle a generous amount on her kibble every day. It's also very useful sprinkled atop any food I might have to coax her to eat when she is being finnicky.

I've always been told that all cats and dogs should have nutritional yeast in their diet to help keep fleas away. Regardless, animals love it so why not give them the extra good nutrition?

Amazon's is an excellent buy too, even less expensive than buying bulk at the health food store. So treat yourself and your pets to delicious, high quality, good nutrition!
