So, what is hiivauute?
Hiiivauute, also known as yeast extract, is a natural ingredient made from the autolysis of yeast cells. This process involves breaking down the yeast cell walls and extracting the contents, which are then concentrated into a paste or powder. Hiiivauute has a savory, umami flavor that is often used as a flavor enhancer in foods such as soups, sauces, and snacks. It is also a source of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, making it a popular ingredient in vegetarian and vegan diets. Hiiivauute is a versatile ingredient that adds depth and complexity to dishes while providing nutritional benefits.
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.
