Vegan Product Reviews from Vegetarian Journal—Millet Tots and Pop Zest Nutritional Yeast Seasoning

Posted on May 31, 2019 by The VRG Blog Editor

Vegetarian Journal includes the column Veggie Bits where we evaluate new vegan products. Recently we reviewed items including Millet Tots from Rollin Greens. Our write-up states:

“Want a tasty alternative to tater tots? Try Millet Tots in three flavors: Original: With Sea Salt & Onion Flake; Italian Herb: With Garlic & Basil; and Spicy-Sweet: With Poblano Chili & Sweet Potato. They seem too indulgent to be nutritious — but with all organic ingredients and a whole-grain millet base, they’re a perfect substitute for tater tots. We especially loved the Italian Herb and Spicy-Sweet varieties. All would be even more delicious dipped in tomato sauce, vegan ranch dressing, agave mustard, or vegan tartar sauce. The Spicy-Sweet Millet Tots are delicious by themselves, with a smooth texture and a spicy kick. Kids will love the Italian and Original flavors. They can do double duty as delicious gluten-free croutons. Find them in the freezers of natural foods stores for about $5-6. See: www.rollingreens.com.”

We also tasted Flavor Train’s Pop Zest Nutritional Yeast Seasoning and said the following:

“Flavor Train’s Pop Zest Nutritional Yeast Seasoning is the perfect addition to popcorn, salads, pasta, anything! As a lover of nutritional yeast, I didn’t think you could get better than that cheesy goodness, but I’ve been proven wrong. There are three flavors in the Pop Zest family, each with their own unique taste. Olive Oil and Herb is like a classic Italian seasoning, Artisan Cheese is a buildable cheese flavor, and Butter is the smooth buttery taste you lust for, without the overly greasy texture of vegan butter. We recommend adding a sprinkle of Artisan Cheese and breadcrumbs to baked mac and cheese, or adding Olive Oil and Herb to steamed veggies and pasta. And the best part — they’re fortified with vitamin B, including B12, so you get between 30-35% of your daily requirement with 1 teaspoon! The seasonings are also low-sodium, making them okay to add to pre-salted popcorn. These seasonings can be found online at popzest.com/shop and via Amazon and Vegan Essentials. You can also find them in stores such as Down to Earth Markets in Hawaii, Lucky’s Market, Clark’s Nutrition, Lassens Natural Foods, and Alfalfa’s Market.”
