Parmesan cheese is one of those magical foods that has a way of making just about everything taste better. When I went vegan, I knew I needed to find a plant-based alternative, and this is IT! So, how and why does this taste like Parmesan cheese? It all starts with ground cashews, which mimic Parmesan cheese in texture and consistency. This provides the perfect base to add nutritional yeast, which has a cheese-like flavour and tons of B12, making it delicious AND nutritious. Then the other three ingredients—garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt—add even more flavour, slight saltiness, and an extra hint of cheesiness.
