Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast is a popular condiment and supplement in the vegan diet because it contains all the essential amino acids and the full spectrum of B vitamins. It works well as a seasoning in vegan cheese substitutes, on popcorn, in scrambles, and mixed into trail mix. Nutritional yeast is available in most health food stores.
