Yeast, dried

Dried yeast is a dehydrated preparation of yeast, a microorganism used in food production, including bread making. It provides protein and several B vitamins, as well as minerals. Per 100g, it contains 36g of protein, 1.5g of fat, 2.3mg of thiamin and 4000µg of folate.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Thiamin helps the body release energy from food, while folate is needed for normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells. The amount of these nutrients consumed depends on how much dried yeast is used. Full nutritional figures, including energy and salt content, are in the tables below.
