So, what is extrato-de-levedura?
Extrato de levedura, also known as yeast extract, is a natural food ingredient that is derived from yeast. It is a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in a variety of food products, including soups, sauces, snacks, and processed meats. Unlike active yeast, which is used for baking, yeast extract has been deactivated and processed to create a flavorful and versatile ingredient. It adds a savory, umami taste to foods, and can be used as a vegan alternative to meat-based flavorings. Yeast extract is also valued for its potential health benefits, as it may support immune function, digestion, and overall well-being.
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.
