Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast has a strong flavour that is slightly nutty, cheesy, creamy, which is why it is so popular as a parmesan cheese substitute. I put it in A LOT of my recipes such as pesto, pasta, soups and any creamy based sauce. It is so versatile, I always make sure I have some in my cupboard.

I also like to mash it into baked potatoes!

Certain brands, such as Engevita's Yeast Flakes are fortified with Vitamin B12, which is considered to be an essential supplement to the vegan diet.

Whilst the name is slightly unappealing, nutritional yeast provides a wealth of vitamins, minerals and proteins. So not only is it a useful and versatile, cheesy substitute but it is healthy too.

I buy this one from Amazon.
