I started using it in my salad dressings and my roommate years ago used it for his popcorn. I like the flavor, but is there that much of a benefit?
like the closest cheese product it resembles is the undissolved cheese powder used in kraft mac & cheese 😭 can we collectively just not
I read that it can be used as grated parmesan. Can I sprinkle it on top of lasagne before baking? It looks like it would burn.
I went plant-based two years ago and had a number of health improvements. After a little over a year, I started getting some gut pain that progressively got worse. After LOTS of dietary modifications and several doctor appointments later, I discovered I have an intolerance to yeast or yeasted products.
As you can imagine, it's greatly impacted what I can eat in the plant-based world. So many of the prepared food options use yeast extract as a flavoring (like most of the broth in my local stores), pretty much making it so I have to prep everything. It's exhausting. On top of that, I don't tolerate a lot of grains really well now either (buh bye farro).
Is there an alternative for nutritional yeast? Google didn't give me any good answers so I thought I'd ask the hive mind. Liquid aminos seem okay for now but that's really only good as a soy sauce/tamari alternative.
Hello! I am new to the vegan game and just bought my first bag of nutritional yeast! Would love any recipes you love that use this as an ingredient. Thanks!
I am hoping you all can help me out here. I am temporarily eliminating dairy from my diet. Some of the recipes for vegan dairy replacements call for nutritional yeast for that "cheesy" flavor. I am sadly allergic to yeast however, so I would like to avoid any and all sources wherever possible. Does anyone know a replacement I could use for similar results? Something that could lend that umami flavor that cheese has? Much thanks!
title basically. i did look at walmart and superstore (perhaps not super well but idk).
I was doing some questionable stuff with nutritional yeast because I love it so much. Now when I go pee, only dry flakes comes out. What do? Plz halp!
Edit: Nvm, I tried eating it and it tastes just like the real stuff^^tm . Got myself an infinite supply of nutritional yeast, all good. Thanks everyone for coming to my TED talk. Please lick that subscribe button and caress that like button. Check out my onlyfans where I make love to bags of nutritional yeast.
Hi guys, I'm seeing nutritional yeast used in a lot of recipes involving coconut cream or other creamy dishes. I made mushroom stroganoff once without it, and it tasted alright, but I'm wondering what nutritional yeast does to the dish, what it adds in terms of flavor, or what non-vegan ingredient it's supposed to be trying to replicate. Is it crucial? Is there something else I can use instead of it? (Because the bin that sells it at my market is always empty and I've never even seen what they look like outside of yellowish crumbs).
Thanks in advance!
Does it have any of the benefits it claims to have or is it just a fancy trend food ?
I tried nutritional yeast for the first time this week, tried a little bit with my salad. I thought it was all hype, people making jokes about how good it was, etc. Nutritional yeast is the dandruff of golden haired angels.
I looked it up and saw that the only difference is that nutritional yeast is death and beer yeast is still alive, but i would autoclave the agar solution anyways so i dont know whats the issue.
And if someone can provide a recipie that would be awesome, im pretty sure that the only ingredients are agar, yeast and table salt.
I’m looking to make a vegan Parmesan substitute for a meal since my friend is allergic to cheese and I wanted to make her a ravioli dish without the Parmesan!
Nutritional yeast is said to be a good source of magnesium and zinc.
Now the package tells me that there is 172mg (46%) of magnesium and 7,8mg (78%) of zinc contained, but per 100 grams of the stuff? Weighing an assumed serving amount of one teaspoon resulted in almost 2 grams of nutritional yeast.
Let's say you doubled that amount, it would still only be 1,84% and 3,12% of the daily recommended amount of magnesium and zinc.
Even if you ate four teaspoons, which i think is quite a lot, it would still not come close to having a significant amount of magnesium.
Or is it all just for the taste and the nutritional part of nutritional yeast is negligible?
Now that nutritional yeast is an ingredient in pretty much all my recipes, my pee has been super yellow. Anyone else? Will my pee always be like this now? Lol. I love cheesy savory flavor and air popped popcorn so I don't foresee my consumption going down much. Also, cheapest place to buy? So far I've been getting it a trader joes.
How much do you eat and how much is too much??
