Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated form of yeast that contains no live cultures and does not cause leavening. It is known for its distinctive cheesy, nutty flavour and is especially popular in plant-based cooking as a substitute for parmesan or cheese-like aroma. It is most commonly sold as yellow flakes or a fine powder. It works great sprinkled over pasta, popcorn, salads or soups, and can be stirred into sauces, spreads or vegan cheeses. It is a rich source of B vitamins, particularly B12, and provides all essential amino acids, making it an excellent dietary supplement for those following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle.
