When incorporated into foods it improves flavor and contributes to food texture. Sprinkle it on soups, salads, dishes, cereals, popcorn, spaghetti, pizza or potato dishes. In soups, sauces and purée the nutritional yeast has a thickening effect.
Nutritional yeast is a good alternative to salt. To retain the vitamin content add it after heat treatment of food.
