Nutritional yeast adds a boost of B-vitamins and a nutty, cheesy flavor.

Nutritional yeast is a type of deactivated yeast that is often used as a food supplement or a condiment. It is a source of B-vitamins, particularly B12, and is often used as a source of B12 for vegetarians and vegans. It is also a good source of protein for people on plant based diets, as it is one of the few plant based sources of 'complete' protein (meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids).  
Nutritional yeast has a nutty and cheesy flavor, making it a popular ingredient in many vegan and vegetarian recipes.

In addition to its nutritional value, nutritional yeast also has a number of potential health benefits. It is a natural source of antioxidants, which can help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties and may help to boost the immune system.

It is important to note that nutritional yeast should not be confused with yeast used in baking or brewing, as they are different strains of yeast and have different uses. It is also important to check the label when purchasing nutritional yeast as some brands are fortified with additional vitamins and minerals, and some are not.
