Brewer's yeast is a highly nutritious ingredient, known for its robust flavor and health benefits. Frequently used in baking, brewing, and dietary supplements, it's a form of Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, rich in B-complex vitamins, protein, and minerals such as chromium and selenium.
Despite its name, Brewer’s yeast isn't to be confused with the yeast used in beer making. It is inactivated yeast, meaning it doesn’t ferment or cause dough to rise. Its unique, nutty flavor makes it a popular addition to many dishes and drinks, enhancing them both nutritionally and gastronomically.
