Yeast extract

Yeast extract is a natural product made by breaking down yeast cells to release their internal components. It is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, and is commonly used to enhance the flavor of foods, especially in savory products like soups, sauces, and snacks. It can also serve as a nutritional supplement or a natural flavor enhancer, providing umami, the savory taste. Because it is derived from yeast, it's a plant-based ingredient suitable for various diets. Yeast extract is valued for its ability to boost taste and nutritional content without adding artificial flavors.
