It is popular with vegan and vegetarians and may be used as an ingredient in recipes or as condiments. While it contains trace amounts of several Vitamins and minerals, it is only a significant source of some b- complex vitamins.
Nutritional yeast has a strong flavour that is described as nutty, cheesy, or creamy, which makes it popular as an ingredient in cheese substitutes. It is often used by vegans in place of cheese. It can be used in many recipes in place of cheese, such as in mashed and fried potatoes, and atop scrambled tofu. Another popular use is as a topping for popcorns.
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 favourite 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 flavours.
