Nutritional Yeast (Seasoning)
Nutritional Yeast (Seasoning) is a deactivated, flaky yeast product commonly used in vegan and vegetarian cuisines as a savory, cheesy-flavored seasoning or condiment. It’s popular as a sprinkle for pasta, popcorn and sauces and often sold as "nooch" or nutritional yeast flakes. Nutrition-wise, Nutritional Yeast (Seasoning) is notable as a plant-based source of protein, providing about 50g of protein per 100g, and it’s typically high in fiber while being low in saturated fat and sodium. Many commercial varieties are fortified with vitamin B12, making them a useful source of that nutrient for people on plant-based diets. From a health perspective, it’s valued for its concentrated, high-quality protein and for being an easy way to add B12 and fiber to meals; it’s used sparingly as a flavoring rather than a main energy source.
