Nutritional yeast, or “nooch” as some people call it, is a total game-changer, especially for vegans and vegetarians.  It has this amazing cheesy flavor, so it’s perfect for adding that cheesy goodness to plant-based dishes.  It’s a great source of plant-based protein, which is important if you’re not eating animal products.  Plus, it’s packed with B vitamins, including the oh-so-important B12. B12 is essential for keeping your nerves healthy and your energy levels up, and it’s something vegans need to pay attention to since it’s mostly found in animal foods.  Nutritional yeast is also low in fat and has fiber, which is good for digestion and keeps your blood sugar stable.  It has a savory, umami flavor that adds a delicious kick to all sorts of dishes – think popcorn, pasta, soups, casseroles… you name it!  So, sprinkling some nooch on your food not only makes it taste amazing but also gives you a boost of nutrients.

Just so you know, nutritional yeast is different from the yeast you use for baking. It’s deactivated, meaning it’s not alive like baking yeast. It’s grown specifically for its nutritional value and that yummy, cheesy flavor, not for making bread rise or anything like that.
