Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fresh Yeast

Metabolic Effect: Fresh yeast contributes to energy metabolism due to its B vitamins and supports the functioning of digestive enzymes. However, excessive consumption can cause gas and bloating.
Consumption Recommendation: It is more appropriate to use fresh yeast in pastries or meals rather than consuming it directly. It can be consumed with vegetables to increase its nutritional value.
Things to Consider: Fresh yeast may cause allergic reactions in some people. Also, it is not recommended to consume it without cooking as it is active yeast. One tablespoon of fresh yeast is about 15 grams.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of fresh yeast, you need to walk at a light pace for about 15 minutes. This can be easily added to your daily activity routine.
