Don't be scared off from the ingredient, nutritional yeast or nooch. Nutritional yeast is a #vegan product that is made from deactivated fungus. The yeast itself is made from cane + beet molasses.


Nutritional yeast is a powerhouse of nutrients! It has protein, B vitamins, zinc, + selenium. Vegans love nutritional yeast because it contains B12. This is an essential nutrient your body needs + is most readily found in non-vegan foods so most vegans have to supplement with it.


You can find nutritional yeast in most grocery stores (bulk food or health food areas) or just buy it online!
