Yeast is a kind of small fungi, which are distinguished by their originality and uniqueness. They contain many cells, but they are all considered independent and independent units that provide themselves with the necessary metabolic processes.
In fact, all single-cell mushrooms have many differences from common mushrooms. This is due to the fact that in the process of evolution they have undergone significant changes. Yeast reproduces at maximum speed, and their main habitat is a warm place, and there must also be water and a large amount of organic matter. For example, if you leave the sugar solution for at least a couple of days, you will soon be able to smell the alcohol. This begins to stand out the waste product of the yeast.
Modern people actively use this product in cooking, especially for making bread and wine. All yeasts differ in their chemical composition, due to which they are divided into separate groups.
1. First of all, baker's yeast should be noted, which is considered the most simple in the process of its use. They are simply poured into the prepared base and you can knead the dough. It is easy to get this yeast in any store, where it is packaged in small packs. This type is characterized by a fairly long shelf life.
2. Pressed yeast differs from baker's, because its constituent components are completely different. Before using this product, you should prepare warm water where it will stir.
3. Fast dissolving yeast is ready for use 10 minutes after mixing with warm water.
4. A completely different kind is called brewer's yeast, as it has its own unique qualities. Thanks to this, it is possible to obtain a delicious beer with a special taste. As a rule, they have a liquid consistency and therefore do not need additional dissolution.
Any kind of yeast is characterized by the presence of a large amount of trace elements and vitamins. For example, these are iron, vitamin B, proteins. Each of these components is directly involved in the metabolic process. In addition, yeast contains potassium, phosphorus, calcium and copper. With their regular use, it is possible to increase physical activity, as well as raise the tone and improve overall well-being. Thanks to all its qualities, yeast is used not only in cooking, but also in the process of creating medicines and biologically active additives.
