Vegan Parmesan Urban Platter Vegan Parmesan is made up mainly of cashews because that’s a key ingredient in a great many vegan dishes and glorious, nutritional yeast. Cashew’s natural flavour mimics the nuttiness like of real Parmesan. And the nutritional yeast adds the cheesy taste we need. One bite and you’ll want to put it on top of everything, whether you’re vegan or not. Vegan Parmesan Alternative has a deliciously cheesy taste, thanks to the nutritional yeast, seeds grown without pesticides, and Himalayan crystal salt on popcorn, veggies, soup, salad, greens & more. It is Dairy-Free, Vegan Gluten-Free, Soy-Free  & GMO-Free. What is so great about Himalayan crystal salt? Himalayan crystal salt is an ancient pure salt that has been compressed naturally over time in the Himalayan Mountains, to form a crystal matrix. All the minerals in the salt are attached in a structure that makes them easily accessible to our cells. Their small size gives them access to the cells in a form that can be easily assimilated and metabolized by the body. Why do they use Nutritional yeast? Nutritional yeast is valued because it is a concentrated source of protein, B complex vitamins, minerals, and because of its creamy cheese-like flavour. It is easily digestible and contains all the essential amino acids. In fact, it is considered a superfood because the nutrients are very concentrated (1 or 2 tablespoons is a sensible serving).It requires no refrigeration on its own and has a long shelf-life. Since it is not a live yeast, it has no fermenting or leavening power. Nutritional yeast is grown on molasses for the purpose of a food supplement and has a pleasant, cheese-like flavour, very low sodium, and is nutrient-dense.
