Yeast, AKA Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – A remarkable sugar-eating fungus
Yeast are single-celled fungi, a sugar-eating fungus that ferments beautifully and makes bread dough rise. Yeasts eat food to generate energy for growth, and they love sugars best of all. They'll snack happily on sucrose, found in foods like cane sugar, fructose and glucose found in honey and fruit, and maltose, which comes from the starch flour contains.
Alcoholic fermentation, where the gases produced can't escape so filter into the dough, makes dough rise. It's the ethyl alcohol, and various other compounds made in the fermentation process, that provide that legendary flavour and gorgeous scents associated with yeast-leavened breads and other baked goods. So what will you create with the fresh yeast we deliver to your doorstep?
