Instant Yeast

Instant Yeast is a dried, active form of baker's yeast commonly used to leaven breads and other baked goods; it speeds fermentation and is a staple in many cuisines and home baking. Nutritionally, it is unusually nutrient-dense for a pantry ingredient — notably it contains about 40g of protein per 100g and is also a rich source of B-vitamins such as thiamine and riboflavin. As an ingredient, it contributes more than just leavening: instant yeast provides fiber and micronutrients often lacking in refined flours, and using natural leaven (sourdough) can be a useful alternative when you want additional digestive and flavor benefits.
