I grew up with Adelle Davis on the bookshelf so I kinda scream "oh gosh" when I see nutritional yeast. More recently it has become an umami golden child particularly in vegan cuisine. I need to re-acquaint myself.
It's not a bad ingredient,if used correctly. My rules are:
- Use good quality product.
- Always cook it if using more than a pinch (cooking breaks its smell).
- It is not a cheese substitute. It's more akin to msg.
