Description

Savita was a savory seasoning of yeast and vegetable extracts similar to nutritional yeast, used to aid digestion.

In an 1863 vision, Ellen G. White of Gorham and Portland—a prophet and founder of the Seventh-day Adventist church—saw vegetarian foods as ideal for humans. White and her Christian followers founded numerous vegetarian food businesses, most notably the Michigan based Battle Creek Sanitarium.
