Brewer’s yeast

This is an inactive brewer’s yeast in powder form.

Powdered (spray-dried) brewer’s yeast is produced as a by-product of brewing. The yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisae) used for fermentation and the biomass formed are dried and pulverized at the end of the production process. Thus, an inactive (i.e., no longer fermenting) product but very rich in nutrients is formed. It is an amino acids-rich ingredient with a complete B vitamins line with a characteristically pleasant odor. It is usually added to about 5% for other ingredients; it is a good binder.
