Nutritional yeast is a manufactured yeast made from the same strain as brewer’s yeast but undergoes a heating and drying process that makes it inactive. As the name suggests, it is nutrient dense, as well as high-protein and low-fat. Abundant in B vitamins, it is a flavorful and functional seasoning for those who adhere to a plant-based diet. In fact, it is affectionately known as “nooch,” because it is considered the vegan substitute for cheese.
