Two tablespoons of nutritional yeast add about eight grams of complete protein and, in fortified versions, a full day's B12.
Nutritional yeast, often called “nooch,” is a deactivated yeast with a naturally cheesy, nutty flavor. It is widely used in plant-based cooking to add depth and richness.
It can be sprinkled on foods or blended into sauces, dressings, and spreads.
