Is there any story behind how you discovered it?

    Ooo interesting. I bought some for a recipe that I ended up never making. I’ve heard it tastes kind of like cheese. Is that right?

      It’s cheeselike. It’s a similar flavor profile but it doesn’t actually taste like cheese. It’s tasty though, I like it with a bit of margarine in grits too.

      I bought some for a vegan gravy recipe (that was shockingly decent, btw), didn’t need most of it and have been slowly using the bag since Thanksgiving. A little goes a long way.

      i wouldn’t say it tastes like cheese on its own, but it is savory and nutty. when mixed with other spices, it hits that “cheesy” note. i am no longer vegan but when i was, i used a lot of nutritional yeast in place of, for instance, parmesan, and it was the base for homemade vegan ricotta, alfredo sauce, broccoli and vegan cheese soup, etc. i really encourage you to try it! also i noticed my cat really enjoys eating it, and apparently a little bit sprinkled on their food is good for them.
