Brewer's yeast

Brewer’s yeast is produced by fermenting beer wort with yeast strains. The yeasts multiply during fermentation and form colonies. After completion, the yeast is skimmed off, washed and dried. It is used in animal nutrition, brewing and baking because it provides a broad spectrum of micronutrients, complex B vitamins, selenium, potassium and chromium.

FAQ

What is the shelf life of brewer's yeast?

As a rule, the shelf life of unopened dried brewer’s yeast is around one year if it is stored in a cool, dry place. It is important to close the packaging tightly after opening and to store the yeast at room temperature to extend its shelf life.

Brewer’s yeast is often considered a superfood because of its content of various nutrients, especially B vitamins such as biotin, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and folic acid, which are important for metabolism and the health of skin, hair and nails.

It also contains a significant amount of protein as well as minerals such as iron, zinc, selenium and chromium. Some use Brewer’s yeast as a dietary supplement, but it is not suitable for everyone, especially those with yeast allergies or hypersensitivities to certain ingredients.

Brewer’s yeast is used in dog, cat and horse feed to provide various health benefits:

  • Improved digestion thanks to probiotic properties.
    Healthy skin and a shiny coat thanks to the B vitamins it contains, especially biotin.
  • Strengthening of the immune system thanks to vitamins and minerals.
  • More energy and vitality thanks to B vitamins
  • Possible regulation of blood sugar levels, especially in the case of diabetes
  • Appealing flavour for the animals

Brewer’s yeast and baker’s yeast are both suitable for bread making, but they offer different benefits. Brewer’s yeast adds a subtle flavour to bread and can produce a fluffier crumb, while baker’s yeast is more neutral in flavour and can result in a firmer bread. Brewer’s yeast contains additional nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals, while baker’s yeast is widely available and often cheaper. The choice depends on preference, the desired flavour and texture of the bread and availability.

Brewer’s yeast is environmentally friendly as it is a by-product of beer production and would otherwise be disposed of as waste. It is biodegradable and requires less energy to produce compared to other foods. It is also used as a fertiliser in agriculture, which can reduce the use of synthetic fertilisers. Overall, brewer’s yeast is often considered an environmentally friendly option.
