Yeast
- Yeast is alive.
- There are more than one-thousand species of yeast.
- Yeasts can reproduce asexually through budding or sexually through the formation of ascospores.
- Ancient Egyptians were probably the first ones to consider baking as an art and began using yeast to produce leavened bread around 2600BC.
- In England in 1307 white bread bakers and brown bread bakers split to form separate guilds and did not reunite until 1569.
