Best Answer: Yeast is a microscopic plant that feeds on sugar. It is used in brewing, breadmaking, and as a nutritional supplement (B vitamin complex). There are different types--brewer's yeast, bread yeast, etc.. The yeast in a yeast infection is in the same family, but you wouldn't want to cook with it.any types of yeasts are used for making many foods: Baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, yeast in wine fermentation and for xylitol[19] production. Yeasts are also one of the most widely used model organisms for genetics and cell biology.
Bakers who use yeast in their bread making are very aware of this. Yeast is used to leaven bread (make it rise). Yeast leavens bread by fermenting sugar, producing carbon dioxide, CO 2, as a waste product. Some of the carbon dioxide is trapped by the dough and forms small âairâ pockets that make the bread light.
