Nutritional yeast is a light deactivated yeast that has a delicious, nutty, cheesy flavor. This is not the yeast used in baking!
Here is a great article to read more about nutritional yeast.
Directions

| Step 1 | To a heavy, cast-iron pot add the oil and three popcorn kernels on a medium-high heat. |
| Step 2 | After all three kernels have popped, add a couple of handfuls of popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Don't leave a gap with the lid, make sure it's on properly to keep the heat and steam in. |
| Step 3 | As soon as you hear popping noises, give the pot a good shake and put it back on the heat. Repeat until you don't hear popping noise anymore. |
