I have been trying to make nutritional yeast at home without success for a long time. After a lot of research, I realized there is no way for me to make this at home. Making nutritional yeast as we buy it from stores requires a special lab that’s full of commercial equipment. There is also a scientific fact that ordinary people like me had no idea about it. So I came up with the idea of mixing what I have in the kitchen and make this homemade nutritional yeast substitute, and it came out great. It's so tasty, healthy and best of all--I know exactly what's in there. I hope you try this recipe!

[@8schopra]

This is unbelievable ...!! Homemade NY✌️👍👏👏👏💚 i use chickpeas as breadcrumb substitutes .. not huge fan of miso.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

But this is not a nootch substitute, because it is NOT yeast and it does not have the B12 etc which nootch is a source of. Brad at the Bon Appetite test kitchen has his series «It’s Alive» and he has tried making so many things that can add flavor as well as be healthy. One thing he has made, is miso powder, which you made here too, only you mixed sprouted chickpeas in it. I bet it is another great flavor enhancer for us plant based folks, which is great 👏👍🙌 - but it is NOT a nooch substitute as it doesn’t do the same things for us... Awell, that’s at least how I see it... ☺️

[@hadassahimmanuel777]

Does it have VITAMIN B12?

[@virginiagross5836]

Nutritional yeast is msg. This is such a great substitute. Thank you for sharing!

[@2sudonim]

@@virginiagross5836 MSG is natural, delicious, and in everything. No, really. Aged cheese, cured meats, tomatoes, soy sauce, tamari, pickles, and miso are all naturally high in MSG. Glutamic acid is a natural amino acid that's used by nearly all living things. When it is denatured (ie cooked, fermented, or otherwise broken down chemically) in the presence of sodium chloride (table salt), it forms mono-sodium glutamate, or MSG. There is a taste receptor on your tongue that detects MSG as a proxy for detecting protein that we experience as umami flavor. Sweet receptors detect carbohydrates. Sour detect acids. Bitter detects alkaloids. Salty detects salts. This provides a lot of information to your brain about the macro-nutrient content of your food. We actually can't detect lipids directly by taste. That's why refined oils have almost no taste. It's also why rushing your teeth changes how food tastes. It removes the tasteless lipids from your tongue allowing more material to reach your taste buds.

[@lightawake]

My body doesn't respond very well to nutritional yeast so looking forward to trying this - maybe attempt a dairy-free cheese recipe!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Hope you like it!

[@georgiosladas3106]

Looks it could be used as protein powder for take away as well. (adding green powder - kale, probiotics, warm water and there you have it.) All videos are mindful and efficient promoting health. Bravo from Greece

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

You are so right, thanks for the ideas and your kind comment!

[@farrellvanessa]

Honestly! Everyone's going on about the missing B12 in these homemade recipes, when the fact is, B12 isn't naturally occurring in any nutritional yeast. It's synthetically added to boost the value of the product and give it claim to being a necessity rather than a food enhancer. Personally I'd never buy noosh just for the added supplements. I buy my own B12 for that. It's the flavor I'm after. So if there's a way to make it cheaper, that's just a win. Can't wait to experiment with some of these homemade noosh recipes!😢

[@saturn0152]

Hi lovely recipe, can you please suggest an alternative of miso paste in this recipe

[@punamchugh1151]

How does it taste? Is it close to the store brought? Which recipes have you used it so far? By the way I like all your videos, they are very peaceful 🤗

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

It actually tastes very similar to the store bought version--it is satisfying and flavorful in a surprisingly similar way. I have used it with popcorn, spaghetti, and porridge with good results, especially as a parmesan cheese replacement. Thank you very much for the kind words about my videos too!

[@Rosannasfriend]

God Bless you! I never know what to do when a recipe calls for nutritional yeast. lol. I know I can buy that, but I want everything to be as natural and homemade as I can get it.

Wow how simple is that!. Love how things can and should be made simple like all things in life. We just make them complicated. Saluti madam!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@jasonmoore2703]

Straight facts

[@louiep432]

The prob is how you gonna get miso since it's so expensive and hard to find.

[@daksmom1999]

Louie P if you have a Whole Foods or fresh market store near you, they have it, although it’s expensive at those specialty stores. And, if you have amazon available to you, you can find it there as well.

[@pinkbagels1]

Depending on where you live you can find large amounts of miso for cheap at Asian grocery stores. The T&T chain has many varieties to choose from and I usually opt for a bagged version from Japan. It lasts a loooong time!

[@lindamariabaxter9095]

Yes miso way to expensive, it cost more than nutritional yeast in Norway. Use soaked split mungbeans that is soaked for 4 hours, drained and roasted on the pan for some minutes. In the blender with a little salt . Tasted nutritional yeast and is cheap. 1 cup mungbeans/2 cup water . Also easy!

[@Alexis-iq7lz]

It is very easy to make and it honestly tastes much better homemade. :)

[@eddiepadilla1078]

Cpuld you innocuoate the chickpeas after cooking? And then process them the way you did to make nutritional yeast?

[@litieguai6306]

I think you could just smash the chickpeas in a bowl and inoculate them with the live miso bacteria for some hours or overnight then season and dehydrate it. It would use a lot less miso if it worked

[@woanlygurl889]

You should be awarded!!! Chickpea and miso are not readily available in my place but I appreciate your effort alot !!!!

Saludos desde Ecuador. En primer lugar te felicito por tu canal. Tengo 2 preguntas: 1. Se puede usar Miso de Soya? 2. El sabor de este sustituto que tal es, sabe a queso? Gracias

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Saludos y gracias! Sí se puede usar miso de soja en vez de miso del garbanzo, pero debe mezclar el miso de soja con garbanzos como hice en el vídeo.

@@GourmetVegetarianKitchen Gracias por tu ayuda. 👍😁

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

According to Anthony William, author of the Medical Medium book series, as well as some Doctors on youtube, Nutritional Yeast is a known neurotoxin and has the same chemical structure as MSG (monosodium glutamate). So thank you for making this healthy alternative!

[@juliedunlap1]

Do you make your own sprouted chickpeas.Can you buy them somewhere

[@shelldie8523]

Wrong title this would be how to make miso and chick pea powder and call it something else.

[@jenthang]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!!! Per Medical Medium (who has millions of followers for a good reason: his advice has cured millions of people of horrible health conditions, including me!), nutritional yeast contains MSG which feeds pathogens, so it makes people susceptible to disease. I've been wishing for a substitute and am so glad you came up with one!

So nutritional yeast is never an active ingredient and just a flavor?

[@Alexis-iq7lz]

This is a powder that mimics the flavour of nutritional yeast and I assume can be used in dishes where that flavour is desired, such as to be sprinkled over pasta dishes or as a seasoning in cheese. Store-bought nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast that has gone through a certain process and that may or may not be good for you - the jury's still out on that one.

This looks like a great way to Stretch store bought nutritional yeast. I could probably mix the two and then i’d still Get the vitamins!
