Yeast on Popcorn

United States

I'm wanting to make my popcorn healthier by not loading it down with salt and butter. My friend says she puts yeast on hers and it is really good. I am just curious if anyone else has ever heard of this. It sounds so gross.

You can get the nutritional yeast from a health food store. I have never tried it with yeast on it before I have sprinkled ground red pepper on it and have used chili and taco mixes as well. I have used it on baked potatoes as well it is great if your trying to lose weight.

Can't say anything about the taste but the smell would be wonderful. Yeast on warm popcorn. The smell of warm popcorn gets me anyway. The smell of bread baking is wow. Toether yummy aroma!

I've never heard of yeast as a topping before I'm interested in what kind of yeast too. We sprinkle cinnamon on to popcorn.mmm and for the kids a spoonful of cinnamon, a spoonful of sugar and a spoonful of cocoa over hot popcorn, lovely.

I've never tried that or even heard of anyone putting that on popcorn. That sounds really gross. If you get it then I'd only try a little bit first to see if you will like it.

No, I have never tried it. I do know that a lot of vegans use it because it is a good source of vitamin b-12. Be sure you get nutrtitional yeast, not brewer's yeast. Supposedly the nutritional yeast has a nutty-cheesy type flavor. It is sold in healthfood stores. Just an FYI, I love to make popcorn and sprinkle it with a little bit of the taco seasoning package spice (like you would use in the ground beef to make tacos!) I have also sprinkled garlic powder on my popcorn as well as cinnamon, onion powder...all kinds of different spices! Just depends upon my mood! My favorite by far is the mexican spices!

Sounds really gross to me too. Yeast tastes awful. Try some herbs or spices instead.

I like to eat it plain, or like to dip it in ketchup. I have never tried eating yeast on my popcorn, I have put herbal powders on it.. Garlic powder finally ground is very tasty on popcorn. - DNatureofDTrain
