Question:

For allergies: what can I substitute for nuts, dates, chia seeds and nutritional yeast?

— Maria Anguiano

Answer:

So for, um, uh, let me just kind of shoot from the hip here for nuts. Uh, think about seeds like, um, uh, sesame seeds. That can be a nice substitute, uh, for dates, I think about other dried fruit. Um, you know, there's a, a whole world out there, whether they're blueberries or cherries or raisins or something else. Uh, chia seeds. Um, you know, I guess it depends on what we're doing here, but think about cilium husk, or it could be flax seeds. There's a couple of things that come to mind that have a similar, uh, jelling, uh, uh, property to them. Uh, for nutritional yeast, it kinda depends on what you're making with this. Um, you know, you could try one of these liquid aminos, uh, for some umami, um, you know, soy sauce, uh, could be miso paste. Again, it just kind depends on what it is, uh, that we're applying this to. But those are some, some quick thoughts that come to mind for your consideration.
