What it is
Yeast is a single-celled microorganism, a type of fungus. It is commonly grown on sugar-rich sources like molasses or grains. The yeast is then harvested, washed, and often dried or inactivated.
Why it's used
Yeast is primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods like breads and pizzas. It produces carbon dioxide gas during fermentation, causing dough to rise. It can also contribute to flavor development in certain foods.
Health notes
Yeast is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of B vitamins and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated yeast and its extracts. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Yeast is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
