Active Dry Yeast

Active Dry Yeast is a dried form of baker's yeast used widely in breads and other leavened baked goods; it’s a staple in many cuisines and valued for reliably fermenting dough. Nutritionally it’s unusually rich in plant protein, providing about 40g of protein per 100g, and it also supplies dietary fiber plus B‑vitamins and selenium that contribute to its nutrient density. From a health perspective, it’s a nutrient‑dense baking ingredient—particularly notable for fiber and micronutrients—while also serving as a convenient source of plant protein for recipes.
