Yeast Extract and the Barley Free Diet

Yeast extract is a food ingredient made by removing the cell walls from yeast cells and concentrating their contents. This process results in a flavorful paste or powder that is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is used to enhance the umami flavor in a variety of foods, including soups, sauces, and snacks. Yeast extract is known for its savory taste and is often found in products like Marmite and Vegemite.
