THE YEAST-LIKE QUALITY OF LIVING TRUTH
Facts about Yeast: It is a single-cell organism, called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which needs food, warmth, and moisture to thrive. It converts its food—sugar and starch—through fermentation, into carbon dioxide and alcohol. It is the carbon dioxide that makes baked goods rise. Yeast will become inactive if the water temperature reaches 120F or more. At 140F, it will die completely.
