Yes, it's best to use nutritional yeast for savory foods. It really does bump up the umami flavor pretty well, and I think it tastes good, but I actually use it more for the flavor than for any nutritional aspect. Common uses in my kitchen: - Using it with salt and water makes a kind of chicken broth'y flavor. - Butter or margerine on toast, then sprinkle nutritional yeast on top. Doesn't sound like it'll be good but a friend introduced this to me and it's one of my favorite snacks. - Add to tomato sauce for a "meat drippings" like flavor. For an easy and cheap spaghetti bolognese use TVP, nutritional yeast, a dash of tarmari, and your usual tomatoes and oregano and basil. - Of course, a lot of people use it as fake cheese... you can make a "nacho cheese" type flavor out of it easily Tons more uses.

I’ll mix it with Hindu/Indian rice and olive oil. It scratches the fried chicken taste/texture.

>- Using it with salt and water makes a kind of chicken broth'y flavor. - Butter or margerine on toast, then sprinkle nutritional yeast on top. Australians have something called Vegemite which they use like you say, on toast. (British too, with Marmite.) It's even mentioned in a song by the band Men at Work - "vegemite sandwich" or some such phrase - heard it as a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite#In_popular_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite#In_popular_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

There are two books I have found that have recipes for vegan cheese. Nutritional yeast is a common ingredient. Eventually I'm going to try some of the recipes. Nutritional yeast also has some health benefits beyond the standard nutritional content. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutritional-yeast-to-prevent-the-common-cold/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutritional-yeast-to-preven... https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preserving-immune-function-in-athletes-with-nutritional-yeast/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preserving-immune-function-...
