  SC — The yeast is for flavor and also a good dietary supplement for the B-vitamins (except for B12). Read more here: https://traditionalcookingschool.com/2009/04/06/nutritional-yeast/

I just made this last night. Yummy! I split the recipe and put half in the fridge, and the other half I’m fermenting. Looking forward to it.

Delphine said she was going to ferment half. WHAT in the world does that mean and why would she be doing that?

  Kathy,
  
  Fermenting can increase the digestibility and nutrition. Plus it tastes so good!
  
  Adding salt and whey then letting the bean spread sit at room temperature one to three days is all that is needed.
  
  We have more on fermenting beans and other things in our Lacto-Fermentation eBook https://traditionalcookingschool.com/lp/lacto-fermentation-ebook/ or eCourse https://traditionalcookingschool.com/lp/member/
