Nutritional yeast, also called “nooch,” is a popular food product with a “cheesy” and “nutty” flavour, often used in vegan cooking. This powdered yeast gets its name from the nutrients it contains, including protein and a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Studies show that nutritional yeast offers several potential health benefits, ranging from lower cholesterol to protection from cellular damage that leads to disease. Some main nutritional benefits of nutritional yeast include:
Protein. Nutritional yeast contains all 9 essential amino acids that you must obtain from food. It’s also a source of high-quality plant protein.
B vitamins. It is rich in B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and B6 and B12.
Trace minerals. These include zinc, manganese, molybdenum, and others which are involved in gene regulation, metabolism, growth, and immunity.
How to use nutritional yeast:
as a seasoning for popcorn, pasta, salad, or casserole dishes.
as an umami flavour in soups, stews, or chili.
as a savoury, cheesy flavour in vegan sauces.
as a thickener for soups and sauces.
as an ingredient in smoothies.
as a pet food additive.
