So, what is extrait de le levure?
Extrait de levure, also known as yeast extract, is a popular food ingredient derived from the cells of yeast. It is a concentrated source of nutrients, including B vitamins and amino acids, and is often used as a flavor enhancer in savory dishes. Yeast extract is commonly found in soups, sauces, and seasonings, and is a natural alternative to monosodium glutamate (MSG). With its umami-rich taste and ability to enhance savory flavors, yeast extract has become a staple ingredient in many modern kitchens. Its unique properties make it a versatile ingredient for enhancing the taste of many 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.
