Yeast Extract and the Gluten Free Diet
Yeast extract is a concentrated, savory food ingredient derived from yeast cells. It is used to impart umami flavor to various dishes, making it a popular component in soups, sauces, and snack foods. The extract is produced by breaking down yeast cells, typically from baker's or brewer's yeast, to release their flavorful components, including amino acids, peptides, and proteins.
