Yeast - description, benefits, effects on the body and best sources

Abstract

Yeast is one of the oldest "house" microorganisms. Archaeologists have concluded that around 6000 BC the Egyptians enjoyed drinking beer. And they learned to bake yeast bread around 1200 BC. Today, there are about 1,500 species of yeast in nature. They are found in leaves, in the soil, on the fruits of various plants, in the nectar of flowers, in berries, germinated wheat grains, malt, kefir. Ascomycetes and basidomycetes are the main groups of yeast species existing today.
