YEAST FLAKES NATURAL INACTIVE YEAST 100G FIVIO

What are yeast flakes and where do they come from

Yeast flakes are a food product obtained from inactive yeast (most often Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) using glucose (produced from beet molasses or cane molasses). At a later stage, the flakes are deactivated by subjecting them to high temperature. Then, they are thoroughly rinsed and dried. During the production process, they gain a form resembling fine oat flakes or coarse breadcrumbs. Inactive yeast flakes are usually available in 250g or 500g packages. They are characterized by a sweet, slightly nutty note. Due to the content of valuable nutrients, this product is particularly appreciated by people who give up gluten, meat and animal products on a daily basis. It is also worth knowing that many people call yeast flakes "vegan parmesan".
