About Yeast
Yeast is a versatile microorganism widely used in baking, brewing, and cooking. As a single-celled fungus, it helps dough rise and ferments beverages like beer and wine. In its active form, yeast is packed with nutrients, including B vitamins, selenium, zinc, and protein, making it a nutrient-rich addition to various recipes. Nutritional yeast, a deactivated type, is popular among vegans for its cheesy flavor and high content of vitamin B12, which is crucial for energy and red blood cell production. While yeast itself is generally healthy in moderate amounts, excessive consumption, particularly of processed yeast products, can contribute to bloating or sensitivities in some individuals. Originating from ancient culinary practices, yeast plays a key role in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, bringing texture and unique flavors to breads, pastries, and fermented foods.
