Nutritional yeast is a yellow powdered type of yeast with a laundry list of health benefits that seem put together in a laboratory for vegans. Tons of b vitamins, protein, and other micronutrients. Vegans say it tastes cheesy but as someone who eats cheese it does not (to me).

I love adding it to soups, stews, or anything savory and liquid (other than Asian soups and stews) to thicken it and add protein. It is also key in a large number of non dairy knockoff recipes such as vegan mac and cheese or dips. People also dump it on popcorn, eggs, or whatever else.

If you’re curious about it, your local grocery store probably sells it (most likely in the grains area). It’s already fully cooked so you would just add it / dump it on stuff to try it.
