That's not to say that you have to eat nutritional yeast that tastes bad, but in my opinion there isn't any nutritional yeast that's going to taste like cheese or salt.

I mentioned them in the thread

I really enjoy their videos.. They are so down to earth.
I have not tried any recipes yet. I really like their message that healthy cooking does not need to be complicated or look pretty.

Why not just use the Brewer Yeast capsules? They are more expensive but without the bad taste.

I've used both the Bragg's and Bob's Red Mill, but neither with any degree of regularity, so I'm not an expert.

I'd like to offer a different suggestion, however, since you mentioned you were looking to re-create a kale chip. Some years back, there was a vendor at my farmer's market who used miso to make some of her kale chips and they were absolutely over the moon delicious. There was one ginger-miso variety that practically has me drooling, just thinking about it!

Yikes, the one I use - Miso Master Organic Chickpea only has 270 mg of sodium per 2 tsp. serving. I love it, too and could literally eat it with a spoon.

Hi,

I have always used Marigold Engevita

https://www.amazon.com/Marigold-Enge...s%2C148&sr=8-1

It goes really well in a cheezy cashew sauce or anything else I put it in.
