Brewers Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a natural ingredient, which is traditionally produced by washing, recovering and drying the spent yeast grown during the fermentation process of beer / alcohol. The yeast is dried using a temperature which stops biological activity whilst maintaining its unique nutritional properties. Brewers yeast contains a natural mixture of high-grade protein, vitamins and minerals and provides an excellent cost effective source of ingredients to enhance the nutritional value of basic foodstuffs.
