Product Description
Yeast Extract Powder is well-liked by vegetarians and can be used as a seasoning or an ingredient in recipes. Unlike brewer's yeast, which is a by-product of a brewery, this yeast is primarily cultivated. The same yeast used to manufacture bread and beer is utilized to create yeast extract, a food flavor. Yeast Extract Powder is direct-use yeast that has not been activated. For a savory flavor, it is also added to some meals like soy sauce and cheese. Additionally, you can find yeast extract in frozen dinners, canned soups, and salty snacks.
