Are "cheesy" kale chips a decent choice? - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-05-22T13:08:37Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/154029 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/154029/are-cheesy-kale-chips-a-decent-choice Are "cheesy" kale chips a decent choice? aseafish 2012-10-06T19:15:13Z 2012-10-07T14:55:42Z <p>Before my Paleo days, I used to make dehydrated kale chips seasoned with nutritional yeast that had a delightful cheesy flavor. They were a fun treat, since I cannot eat dairy or gluten at all and have few crunchy snack options. I haven't used nutritional yeast since shifting to a Paleo diet a couple of years ago. Somehow it didn't seem appropriate. Now I'm wondering if I was too stringent in my limitations. </p> <p>What do you think? Are these "cheesy" kale chips flying in the face of basic Paleo principles? My reasons for not eating grains, legumes, dairy, and artificial stuff are health-based, not history-based if that info helps.</p> <p>Thanks...</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/154029/are-cheesy-kale-chips-a-decent-choice/154033#154033 Answer by AmandaLP for Are "cheesy" kale chips a decent choice? AmandaLP 2012-10-06T19:39:58Z 2012-10-06T19:39:58Z <p>Nutritional yeasty has a lot of B vitamins in it (and is often supplemented with b12), which is why vegans love it. Besides being a more highly "processed food," there isn't anything inherently non paleo about it.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/154029/are-cheesy-kale-chips-a-decent-choice/154037#154037 Answer by Melmac for Are "cheesy" kale chips a decent choice? Melmac 2012-10-06T19:57:13Z 2012-10-06T19:57:13Z <p>Eh, I've come across some bad stuff about yeast while browsing the internet. Someone asked about it on paleohacks already, hope this helps :-) <a href="http://paleohacks.com/questions/66585/any-reason-not-to-eat-nutritional-yeast#axzz28SDl5Iz4" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/questions/66585/any-reason-not-to-eat-nutritional-yeast#axzz28SDl5Iz4</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/154029/are-cheesy-kale-chips-a-decent-choice/154153#154153 Answer by joanna for Are "cheesy" kale chips a decent choice? joanna 2012-10-07T14:55:42Z 2012-10-07T14:55:42Z <p>i used to make kale chips every day- not kidding. i was seriously obsessed with them. when i stopped using nooch, i noticed that a mixture of tahini and bragg's was very cheesy tasting. </p>
