I think Engevita is DELICIOUS! I have a good amount folded into my bowl of salad every day, and it adds the most wonderful umami taste. My three adult children all buy it now too. Yum yum yum!

I THINK THE ENGEVITA WITH ADDED VITAMIN B12 isn't as 'cheesy tasting' as the one without - I think they're both great and often add them on top of pasta dishes or beans on toast or in plain crisps shaken about to make a cheesy taste - good for mixing in with your cat or dogs meal if you are feeding them veggie/vegan meals too.

I'm very confused about the B12 claims of this product. It says "added B12", yet the ingredients does not list B12, which it would legally have to do if B12 is added and B12 does not naturally occur in yeast at such levels. The best info I could get on this is that the yeast is "grown in a special high B12 medium", which doesn't tell much. I think I will get the non-B12 version in future and use supplements to top up on B12.
As for the actual product, it looks a bit like fish flakes :) It's very crumbly and can be sprinkled onto foods to add a savoury flavour. I use it for making vegan bean burgers, where you can't really taste it in the finished product.
The flavour itself is described as "cheesy", but I haven't really found it to be so. The taste is hard to describe: hints of cheese, yes, slightly salty. "Savoury" is probably the best way I can describe it. It's not unpleasant, but I didn't find it as nice as many other people have been describing it. I couldn't eat it by itself, but mixed with stronger flavours, it's okay.
