Happy New Year's Eve! Here's a note about nutritional yeast...

"Nutritional yeast is grown on enriched purified cane and beet molasses under carefully controlled conditions" and is dried into flakes. It has a delicious umami flavor (see this link for umami def. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/umami) According to Bob's Red Mill "it can be sprinkled over popcorn or salads, added to juice, cereal, smoothies, gravies, soups or casseroles, or used to make sandwich spreads." http://www.bobsredmill.com/nutritional-yeast.html

You cannot make vegan Mac n' Cheese, or Cheesy Vegan Grits without this. It is definitely worth the investment. A big container, about 15 oz, is around $12.00 on Amazon, which is where I get it.

Definitely a must for your healthy pantry, and definitely yummy.
