About Active dry yeast
Active Dry Yeast is a versatile microorganism used primarily in baking and brewing to leaven bread and ferment beverages. Originating from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is composed of dried yeast cells packed with nutrients like B vitamins, protein, and trace minerals. Popular in cuisines worldwide, yeast plays a central role in creating fluffy bread, pizza crusts, and sweet pastries. Its fermentation properties contribute to texture and flavor by converting sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Active Dry Yeast is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a healthy food additive, but it should be used in moderation due to high sodium content in some packaged varieties. Additionally, it is an excellent source of antioxidants, which may support immune health. However, people with certain yeast sensitivities or conditions like candida overgrowth may need to restrict its use. Perfect for unleashing culinary creativity, Active Dry Yeast is a cornerstone of baking excellence.
