— Irreverent Vegan VeganYumYum Olives for Dinner Dreamin' It Vegan Vegetarian Times - Great Food, Good Health, Smart Living What the Heck is Nutritional Yeast? Welcome New York Times readers! I hope you’ll check out some of my recipes while you’re here, and if you like what you see, follow me on Facebook or by email. Of all the ingredients I use in my recipes, the one I’m asked about the most is nutritional yeast. I’ve been cooking with it for so long that I forget how strange it must sound to people who are new to vegan cooking. Neither the word “nutritional” nor the word “yeast” conjures up mouthwatering images, but the truth is, it’s one of the few “health food store” ingredients that I wouldn’t want to have to do without–and not because of its nutritional value. So what is it, why do I use it, and where can you find it? What It Is Nutritional yeast is made from a single-celled organism, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, which is grown on molasses and then harvested, washed, and dried with heat to kill or “deactivate” it. Nutritional yeast has such an unappealing name that somebody started calling it “nooch” and the name caught on on the internet.
