Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is often distributed as yellow flakes or powders. It is a deactivated form of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast with cheesy flavors, which can be used in scrambled tofu and mashed potatoes. You can also sprinkle it on top of your pasta dishes or enjoy as a savory topping on your popcorn. In addition to providing protein, this plant-based food is also a great source of B vitamins, manganese, copper, magnesium, and zinc. However, fortified options aren’t universal, while unfortified products shouldn’t be relied. [4]
