Where to Buy Nutritional Yeast in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Whether you’re a committed vegan, a curious foodie, or just trying to make your popcorn taste vaguely like cheese, nutritional yeast can feel like culinary gold dust. And if you’ve recently wandered the aisles of your local supermarket muttering “levadura nutricional… anyone?” — this one’s for you.

🧀 What Is Nutritional Yeast (And Why Do We Love It)?

Nutritional yeast (aka “nooch”) is a flaky, yellow powder with a nutty, cheesy flavour — but no actual cheese involved. It’s a go-to ingredient in vegan cooking, thanks to its savoury taste and B-vitamin boost. Sprinkle it on pasta, mix it into sauces, or dust it over popcorn and feel instantly superior. It’s delicious, OK?

Now, where do you find it in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?

🛒 Spar Natural: A Nooch-Hunter’s Safe Bet

Spar Natural stores (not to be confused with regular Spar supermarkets) are your best bet for finding nutritional yeast. They stock all sorts of plant-based goodies, including nooch, and their shelves are reliably full of vegan staples like plant milks, tofu, and fancy nut butters.

🌿 Zanahoria: The Classic Eco Shop

Zanahoria has been around for years and has built a loyal following among the veggie crowd. Expect a wall of supplements, health food favourites, and yes — nutritional yeast. It’s the kind of place where you walk in for one thing and leave with a bag full of lentils, tempeh, and organic toothpaste.

📍 Calle Galicia 19, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

🧪 Herbolario Potingues de Mónica (Inside Mercado Central)

If you’re wandering around Mercado Central and need a wellness fix, Potingues de Mónica is a must. It’s one of those magical little stalls where you can find maca powder, essential oils, and a surprisingly good deal on nutritional yeast. A hidden gem for budget-friendly health food.

🌱 Tienda EcoIsleta: The Zero-Waste Favourite

EcoIsleta is part eco-shop, part community project, and 100% worth visiting if you want to reduce your packaging guilt. They sometimes stock nutritional yeast in bulk (bring your jar!) or in small pre-packed portions, depending on the day. Call ahead if you’re making a special trip.

📍 Calle Princesa Guayarmina 26, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

💡 Quick Tips Before You Go

  • Always make sure you’re going to a Spar Natural, not just any Spar.
  • In Spanish, nutritional yeast is usually labelled “levadura nutricional” or “levadura de cerveza desactivada”.
  • Shops like EcoIsleta appreciate if you bring your own containers — eco-karma unlocked.

  • A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
