Like “Parmesan”, but vegan and very nutritious

The taste of vegan “Parmesan” is due to the nutritional yeast, highly appreciated for its content of B vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Nutritional yeast is highly prized in vegan cooking. It is reminiscent of the taste of Parmesan cheese and enhances all kinds of dishes: creams, soups, salads, baked vegetables and desserts. We can use it as a substitute for this cheese or another to give our recipes a touch of cheese flavor but without eating cheese, either because we are committed to a plant-based diet or because we prefer to avoid it for health reasons.

In addition, nutritional yeast is very nutritious and provides fiber, easily digestible proteins, B vitamins, essential amino acids and minerals. Therefore, we not only give flavour to dishes but also enrich them nutritionally.
