User Reviews
I loved the nutritional yeast suggested in the ingredients here. I started cooking with nutritional yeast a few years ago. It’s got this almost cheesy, umami-rich flavor that adds incredible depth to vegan dishes. I’ve even used it in vegan macaroni and cheese and it’s incredibly tasty! Use it in stir-fry’s, soups, sauces, whatever!
