Torula Yeast is grown in a nutrient pool containing sugars and minerals extracted from wood (sound nummy so far?) or molasses.

The yeast is then filtered, washed, sterilized and dried. The yeast has a light brown colour, and when cooked, has a slightly meaty taste. This makes in popular in vegetarian imitation meat products, and as a meat extender. It is also used as a flavour enhancer in prepared foods.
