Active baker's yeast is a live single-celled fungus used in its raw, dried form primarily to leaven bread, pizza dough and other baked goods. It is typically sold in small sachets or jars and used in quantities of a few grams per recipe, so actual intake per serving is modest. Per 100 g, it provides 325 kcal, 40.4 g of protein, 7.6 g of fat, 41.2 g of carbohydrates and a notable 26.9 g of dietary fibre, with no sugars. It is a rich source of potassium (955 mg per 100 g), phosphorus (637 mg), folate (2340 mcg) and niacin (40.2 mg). No glycemic index value is available, which is consistent with its use as an ingredient rather than a standalone food. Active baker's yeast is compatible with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
