Simply Organic - "Hippie Dust" (a.k.a. Nutritional Yeast) - The Best Trending Seasoning Your Spice Cabinet Needs Now Affectionately referred to as “hippie dust” by self-identified “granola” types, nutritional yeast is a super cool seasoning that's amazingly tasty and goes on, and in, just about everything. It's called Nutritional Yeast by?the Establishment?(doesn't sound as cool that way, does it?), but "nooch" if you're really in-the-know.?Vegans have been using this stuff for years and?totally dig?it. But?if you think it's just for vegans —or hippies — and you're not, you're missing out, man.So, what is it?? It is a yeast, which are fungi, and it's the same strain as baker's yeast — but it's?'deactivated.'?That means?it's heated so there are no active cultures (it's cashed, dude) and?it doesn't make things rise or go all frothy on you. But dig this: it's far from devoid of nutrients?(hence the 'nutritional' in the name) and has a groovy almost-nutty, cheesy?umami?flavor.HOW IT’S USEDYou'll find it?in flake and powder form. They're pretty much interchangeable, the flake form is just less compact so you'll want to use a little more than you would with the powdered variety. Both tend to be a bit drier than cheese, but you can add a little olive oil if your food isn't real moist. “Hippie dust” isn't?psychedelic, but it IS rather magical since it transforms nearly everything you add it to.?It's often seen as a parmesan cheese substitute, and it's outta sight for that, for sure, but don't think it ends with a little sprinkle on pasta and pizza. Here are a dozen ways to really get down with this stuff — check it out: THE FIRST DOZEN WAYS YOU NEED TO TRY IT1. PopcornThis is the gateway application. You’ll get a good sense of its magic when you sprinkle it on popcorn. You might even ditch the salt!2. Pesto?Basil, parsley, lemon juice, salt, garlic, nutritional yeast, extra-virgin olive oil and, for a different vibe, walnuts.3. Kale salad Mix some hippie dust?into?olive or avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic and soy aminos, and massage it into?torn kale leaves?(no stems, man). 4. Kale chips?(totally different experience than the salad) Toss torn kale?with olive oil, then shake on some nutritional yeast and garlic powder, and bake.5. Caesar dressingUse powdered nooch in the dressing and sprinkle flakes on top in place of the fresh-grated parmesan. For a totally egg- and dairy-free version,?check out almond-based dressing recipes online.6. Mac & cheese Fills in for cheese in the sauce — and you don’t need as much. Mix it up smooth in a blender or processor with some non-dairy milk, a starch and your other favorite seasonings (optional).7.?'Cheese' sauce, no dairy?Same concept as above. For broccoli, nachos, whatever turns you on.8.? Potatoes Mashed potatoes go 3-D with a little hippie dust. For a dairy-free version, ditch the butter and milk?— use extra-virgin olive oil instead.?Bake nutritional yeast into au gratin and party potatoes, too.9. Eggs If you dig 'em over-easy,?sprinkle it on top, but it'd be a drag if you didn't try it mixed into scrambled?eggs or tofu.10. Risotto This stuff makes far out cheesy-like risotto.11.
