Aside from B12, nutritional yeast is also a "complete protein," and is low in fat and sodium, is free of sugar and gluten, and contains iron.
It is popular with vegan and vegetarians and may be used as an ingredient in recipes or as condiments.
Nutritional yeast has a strong flavour that is described as nutty, cheesy and creamy which makes it a great cheese substitute in vegan recipes.
Uses of nutritional yeast:
- Melt a few tablespoons into soups, stews or plain heated chicken or vegetable broth. The yeast will easily dissolve but may turn the mixture a little cloudy.
- Added to vegan gravy.
- Substitute nutritional yeast for cheese in your favorite recipe.
- Same goes for vegan mac and cheese: sub 1/2 to 1 cup nutritional yeast for grated cheese in the white sauce. You may want to add some salt or soy sauce to balance the flavors.
