About Active yeast
Active yeast is a living organism commonly used in baking and brewing, celebrated for its role in fermentation and rising dough. Originating from ancient culinary traditions, it has roots in diverse cuisines worldwide, especially in bread-making and beer production. Comprised of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, active yeast is rich in protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals, including selenium and zinc. It supports digestion by providing probiotics, though its nutritional benefits depend on how it's prepared—deactivated yeast offers more vitamins but lacks its leavening power. While it's low in fat and calories, active yeast is high in sodium and should be consumed in moderation for those watching their salt intake. Its ability to convert sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol makes it key for airy textures in bread and complex flavors in ales and wines. However, it requires proper activation with warm liquid and sugar to unleash its full potential.
