Cameron Diaz spent some time on the The Dr. Oz Show getting (really) real about her bathroom rituals, but she also shared a far more appetizing secret from her new book: the benefits of nutritional yeast. Source: Getty
Typically found in powder or flake form, nutritional yeast is cultivated from a deactivated yeast strain, and as Cameron can attest, it's more palatable than it sounds. The actress told Dr. Oz she adds nutritional yeast to eggs, salad, and even oatmeal, since it "tastes just like parmesan cheese." Beyond the flavor factor, nutritional yeast is an easy way to incorporate more B vitamins into a plant-based diet without taking additional supplements.
