Red Star Nutritional Yeast

I am learnning so much about vegetarian foods and this week, I decided to try some nutritional yeast on my air-popped popcorn. It is a great snack! What a great way to sneak in some extra nutrition--sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn! It has a subtle nutty, almost cheesy taste but blends in well with the popcorn.

The label for Red Star Nutritional Yeast says: "Vegetarian Support Formula was first manufactured in 1975. A valuable source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, dietary fiber and minerals, its popularity has grown worldwide as individuals have become more aware of their day-to-day health."

Nutritional Yeast is a good source of B-complex vitamins, like B-12.
