I love nutritional yeast and have been putting it on popcorn for years. It also goes well on buttered toast. It mixes into the butter and makes a cheesy, nutty kind of spread.

Mmmm. Maybe I'll make a nice midnight snack right now

I recently bought a small quantity of it. I keep forgetting I have it. I intend to use it green beans or something green. A restaurant I visited last year used it to top roasted shi****o peppers.

Though I'm no longer vegan, I still make tofu eggless salad once in a while. It doesn't taste right without nutritional yeast.

Hmm, mix it with butter for toast...
Since I like the British Marmite, yeast based w/ B vitamins, ha, and have many jars ...I bet
that would be good, thanks, my friend.

Just a story: When I was a strict vegetarian for 15 yrs if my gums started to bleed (not often), I would
put a tablespoon of nutri yeast in V8 juice...next morning all gone!
I have heard about it on popcorn for years.
Meatballs, eh? Thanks...bet it would enhance turkey meatballs.

I always sprinkle a lot on tofu, fried slowly in butter is best - soy sauce or Worcestershire,
onions and garlic ...people love it that think they hate tofu...never cover it so it gets crusty and chewy...use 'firm', always organic.

I'm gonna try it niow on my steamed green veggies of all kinds with a bit of soy sauce....love this thread!

I also use fish sauce in places that would surprise you, and I do think there is a positive difference.

Anywho, I'm always open to stuff that might make food taste better. Today, I saw this article on Nutritional Yeast. Does anybody use this stuff for the FLAVOR? I'm not at all thinking or concerned with the nutritional value. Just the flavor it might or might not add.
I dont use it.

Hmm, wonder if Marmite could be used similarly to enhance umami, nutrition and as a salt substitute??

I haven’t tried yeast extract, but love Marmite in various capacities when paired with fats such as mayo or butter toast. It has really grown on me.

I thought marmite contained a lot of salt?

We have used the flakes for 45 years! Our favorite is to put it on our homemade popcorn.

BTW, for those that like a bit of history and medicine with their yeast, this stuff wiped out a plague here in the USA South not too long ago!

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4530670/

"He made practical recommendations and, just before he died, identified in brewer's yeast a cost-effective therapeutic and preventative measure. Goldberger, a steady and careful researcher, turned a hypothesis (a reasonable idea) into a theory (an idea that accounts for the known facts to a reasonable degree of certainty)."

Carloads of it were sent down and between that and changing diet, the disease was eliminated.
