Hey!

I was just wondering...does anyone know how to make popcorn with nutritional yeast?? I hear it has some good health benefits and is super yummy, so I wanted to give it a try!

I bought yellow popcorn and nutritional yeast by bulk at the healthfood store, but I'm not sure if I need anything else. So, if people could help me out with a recipe that worked for you that would be awesome!!

Also, do you have any idea what the nutritional/caloric information would be for say a cup of popcorn?

Thank you!!

    I came across this recipe, but I have yet to try it. I'm sure you could just use nutritional yeast without the other spices if you wanted.

    Also I read some of the comments and you could try substituing Bragg's liquid aminos in place of the butter.

    Pretty darn good. I did not opt for butter, thinking that the oil alone would hold the seasonings to the popcorn - much of the toppings did end up at the bottom of the kettle, but were again on top when I poured the popcorn into a bowl. Next time, I will spray some Bragg's on before adding the seasonings and then exclude the salt. I'm surprised that my 3 year old liked this popcorn, it wasn't too spicy for her. This popcorn is so rich in flavor that you may find that you don't need to eat a lot of it to feel satisfied. Update: I now make this with air popped popcorn - use Bragg's Liquid Aminos to stick the dry ingredients to the popcorn, leave out the salt and *presto* a dieter's delight!"
