Today’s Mystery Ingredient Monday is brought to you by:

Nutritional Yeast Flakes

Animal vegetable or mineral? These fall into the vegetable category and are therefore vegan. Hooray!

What are they used in? You can sprinkle nutritional yeast flakes into soup or on top of veggie bolognaise for a cheesy, nutty taste.

What kind of nutritional value do they provide? A good source of B vitamins and well as phosphorus, magnesium and folic acid. If you are trying to conceive, a high folic acid intake is important as it lowers the chances of neural tube defects.

Cashew nut and red pepper spread.

Soak 100g of cashew nuts overnight. Drain and blend with half a red pepper and 1 tablespoon of nutrititional yeast. Spread on bread and enjoy!
