Nutritional Yeast - The Golden Magic Dust You Didn’t Know You Needed

Vegan America Marketplace Daily Update

Let’s talk about nutritional yeast—or as many vegans call it, nooch. This flaky, cheesy-tasting powder has earned cult status in plant-based kitchens around the world, and for good reason.

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast, typically grown on molasses, harvested, and heat-treated to preserve its rich nutritional profile. It’s been around since the mid-20th century, originally used as a wartime supplement due to its high B-vitamin content. Today, it’s a go-to for anyone looking to add savory, umami flavor without animal products.

Here’s why we’re obsessed with it:

  • It’s naturally high in complete protein (about 8 grams per two tablespoons).

  • It’s packed with B-vitamins, especially B12 when fortified.

  • It’s low in fat, sugar-free, and gluten-free.

  • It gives everything from popcorn to pasta to roasted veggies a rich, cheesy flavor—without the cheese.

From a nutrition standpoint, few pantry staples offer as much punch in such a small scoop. And taste-wise? Addictive. We’re not joking. It’s the kind of ingredient you’ll start sneaking into nearly every meal.

You can now find a variety of nutritional yeast products right on the Vegan America website—flakes, powders, fortified blends, and even seasoning mixes featuring nooch as the star ingredient.

Warning: Once you start, it’s hard to stop. But in this case, that’s a good thing.
