Are you just beginning your vegan journey and wondering how to keep your nutrition game strong? Well, you’re in for a treat because we’re diving into the wonderful world of nutritional yeast - your vegan diet superhero!

Nutritional Yeast Flakes are a true gift to the vegan world and Marigold has been bringing this product to the UK market for the last thirty years. As well as having a delicious, moreish, cheesy, nutty taste, these fermented and dried flakes grown on beet molasses contain a wealth of vitamins and minerals.

When Marigold was looking to find a means to demonstrate the delicious cheesy flavour of its Engevita® Nutritional Yeast Flakes at a national trade show, the idea of creating small bags of popcorn sprinkled with the product seemed to offer a good solution. The experiment proved so popular that people kept returning to the Marigold stand for more single serve samples. This was the genesis of Marigold Popcorn Plus.

Legend has it that in ancient times Buddhist monks in China considered it an art form to create plant-based products which mimic meat and fish. Back in the nineties, Marigold was introduced to a Taiwanese artisan producer of vegan soya products which still fulfilled this promise.
