Nutritional yeast is often called "vegan parmesan." It is a great condiment for vegans and anyone avoiding dairy, not just for its cheesy flavor but also because it is an excellent, natural source of vitamin B. Nutritional yeast is an inactive form of yeast, meaning it is not used to leaven dough, but as a seasoning. It is a specific strain of yeast that is harvested from fermented cane molasses or beets.
