Yeast extract
Yeast extract is a food ingredient that comes from yeast, which is a type of fungus. It is not derived from plants, grains, dairy, or made synthetically. Yeast extract is commonly used in cooking to enhance the flavour of various dishes.
To make yeast extract, yeast cells are broken down, often with the help of salt, to release their natural flavours. The mixture is then heated to concentrate the flavour and create the final extract. This process helps extract the rich umami taste that yeast extract is known for.
Yeast extract is a common ingredient in various food products due to its ability to enhance the savoury flavour of foods. It can be found in items like soups, sauces, dressings, and snack foods. Yeast extract adds depth and complexity to dishes, making them more delicious and satisfying.
