Yeast

Yeast is a versatile ingredient derived from cultured fungi that is used both as a leavening agent (baker's yeast) and as a savory, cheesy-flavored seasoning (nutritional yeast) in many cuisines. It’s commonly used in baking, brewing and as a plant-based flavor and nutrient booster. As a food, Yeast is notable for being high in protein with about 40.4g per 100 g and also contains substantial fiber; it is particularly valued for its B-vitamin content (often used to boost thiamine and riboflavin intake) while remaining low in salt and saturated fat. Because it’s concentrated, a little goes a long way—people often use it to add savory flavor and nutrients to dishes without adding much fat. Overall, Yeast is considered nutrient-dense: it provides plant-based protein, fiber and B vitamins, and is commonly used to improve the nutritional profile of vegetarian and vegan recipes. It’s a good pantry ingredient when you want to increase protein and micronutrient content without raising sodium or saturated fat.Read more
