Pesto, Dairy Free, Nut free

Pesto is so good with almost everything. This dairy free, nut free pesto is just amazing. I did use my newly found nutritional yeast to replace the use of cheese. Check here for the recipe video.

What is nutritional yeast:

Nutritional yeast is a yeast deactivated. It is a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sold commercially as a food product. Nutritional yeast is usually in a yellow flake granulated, powder. This yeast is now common in vegan and vegetarian diet.

It contains high dose of B-complex vitamins trace amounts of several other vitamins and minerals.

Nutritional yeast has a strong flavor that is described as nutty or cheesy, which makes it popular as an ingredient in cheese substitutes.

The nutritional yeast I am using can be purchase here.

 

My favorite herbs for pesto is of course the standard basil. I do love Parsley pesto better than spinach. And since I have flax-seed, i was like why not use it instead of nuts. This pesto is friendly for an autoimmune paleo diet and keto diet also.

How to store Pesto

I love how you can store this pesto for up to a week in the fridge.

You ca also do a canning if you love making them in batches.
