So, what is levures désactivées?
"Levures désactivées" is a French term that refers to deactivated yeasts. These yeasts are a byproduct of the beer and wine-making process and have been inactivated by heat treatment, which prevents them from fermenting. Deactivated yeasts are a common food ingredient used as a flavor enhancer, especially in savory dishes. They have a nutty, slightly cheesy flavor and are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Deactivated yeasts are also popular among vegans and vegetarians as a source of vitamin B12, which is mostly found in animal products. Overall, levures désactivées are a versatile and nutritious ingredient that can add a unique flavor and nutritional boost to various dishes.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
