Top 21 Most Annoying Hollywood Food Trends
14. Nutritional Yeast
The word “yeast” for many people carries the association with something gross and undesired (because of the infection, of course) but the fact is that nutritional yeast in its pure form is very good for you. In fact, it has been a very sought-after fad food in Hollywood for some time now.
Nutritional yeast is one of the best sources of vitamin B12. This important vitamin, which plays a great role in the proper functioning of the nervous system, is found in some types of meat, in liver, shellfish and, of course, in fortified foods such as soy beans and cereals.
People who don’t eat meat or fish, such as vegans, have a very hard time getting the vitamin B12 they need and this is where nutritional yeast comes to the rescue. This food, which comes in form of a powder, can be added to shakes and smoothies and to cookie batter to boost the nutritional value.
