A Plant-Based Substitute That Mimics The Flavour Of Cheese

With the right recipe it comes close to that cheesy flavour you're used to...

The need to transition to a healthier lifestyle has never been more pertinent. People from all walks of life today seek healthier alternatives to the fatty and starchy elements from their diet. Some seek to make such a change for a healthier heart. But there are those who wish to banish cheese and other dairy from their diet to battle lifestyle disorders such as Type II Diabetes and even PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). In recent years, nutritional yeast (or ‘nooch’) has become a popular vegan essential, as it provides a cheesy and nutty flavour.

It can be used as an easy replacement for dairy cheese. It is available as a golden-coloured powder or flakes and is super easy to use – sprinkle it over your any food! Nutritional yeast is also a superfood, as it is packed with nutrients (thus, ‘nutritional’ yeast) and is gluten-free and soy-free.

Why Opt For Nutritional Yeast Over Cheese

It is widely known that dairy cheese contains casein and is heavily processed. But nutritional yeast can have a positive impact on your health. So vegan or not, this is a great addition to your diet. Here are the benefits of nutritional yeast:

• It is rich in vitamin D2, riboflavin, calcium, iron, and zinc.
• It contains all 18 essential amino acids! This means it is a source of complete protein (more than 45% protein).
• It can help lower cholesterol and thus keep your heart in check.
• Being high in antioxidants, it can help prevent cancer and strengthen your immune system.
• It improves hair and nail strength and can help fight acne along with other skin issues.
• Health is just a spoon away as we sprinkle nutritional yeast on anything and everything to make it healthier!

How to use it?

Just like any food can be made tastier by sprinkling a little cheese over it, you can do the same with nutritional yeast. Since it is functional as a cheese replacement, it can make any dish vegan!

When it comes to Indian foods, there are loads of ways you can use nooch – you can sprinkle it over aloo chaat, tikki, or add it to dosas or vada pav - Healthscape’s Nutritional Yeast can fit into any recipe and enhance its flavour. Apart from that, it can also be consumed directly as a dietary supplement or used as seasoning.

Here are some of our favourite uses of nutritional yeast!

Cheese Sauce and Vegan Cashew Cheese

Nutritional yeast can be used as an ingredient replacement for cheese when making cheese sauce. It gives the same flavour and texture as cheese when cooked. It can also be used to make vegan cashew cheese.

Soups and Curries

Nutritional yeast gives a nutty and savoury flavour to dishes and provides a rich consistency. This makes it a perfect addition to soups and curries to thicken them and enhance flavour, not to mention make them healthier!

Sprinkle over Salads, Pasta, Popcorn, or Pizzas

Nutritional yeast can be sprinkled as a seasoning over salads, fries, dips, hummus, nachos, toast, popcorn or steamed veggies, among many others. It can also be mixed with pasta sauce and can be added in place of cheese over pizzas. When melted, it gives a cheesy look and flavour.

Add a Small Amount to Desserts and Health Drinks

Even a small amount of nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute can be a healthy addition to food. Adding a little bit in cake batters, smoothies or any other desserts or healthy drinks can make them healthier without altering the flavour.
