WarrenB Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Looking through a lot of dedicated homemade roach chow recipes, I see brewers yeast mentioned a lot. Never bakers/bread yeast. What's the difference? I see that brewers yeast is inactive. Is that the main factor? Can live yeast be harmful to roaches? Then there's nutritional yeast, or yeast flakes, mentioned rarely in chow recipes. I suspect that's rebranded brewers yeast, or at least performs the same function. A fair assessment? Be right back, have to go rewatch Gentlemen Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingerlakefeeders Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Bakers yeast is alive, never feed that. Brewers yeast is a by-product of alcohol brewing. It is heat treated killing the yeast, and is sold as a nutritional supplement. It is bitter in flavor. Nutritional yeast is purpose grown as a nutritional supplement. It is deactivated and used as a nutritional supplement and condiment. It has a nutty cheese-like flavor. Brewers yeast and nutritional yeast have different nutritional profiles, but both are good supplements for roaches. Plenty of information online detailing their differences and specific nutritional profiles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
