In daily life, when steaming steamed bread, there are many things that can be fermented, such as yeast powder, baking soda, alkaline noodles and so on. Yeast powder is used most now, because it is simple and easy to operate. We can control more and less, so that noodles will not feel sour.
The reason why yeast powder is so popular as a common food ingredient is mainly because there is a slime mold component in yeast powder. In the process of fermentation, the dough can become very fluffy and soft, and the taste of steamed bread is also very good. However, in daily life, many people are worried about the safety of eating steamed bread with yeast and whether it will have a certain impact on our human body. This article will tell you in depth whether eating fermented steamed bread will have an impact on our health.

In fact, this fungus in yeast powder belongs to fungi, which is very helpful to our health, and the main substance in yeast is protein. So we don't have to worry about the bad effects of yeast powder on our human body at all. And if the temperature is low in daily life, in order to speed up the fermentation, you can put more yeast powder, which can shorten the fermentation speed.
So there is no problem with yeast fermentation. Although yeast is a microorganism, it will not cause harm to human body. Cooking will kill people and will not produce toxic substances. On the contrary, it will add fluffy feeling to the dough, so don't worry.
From the taste point of view, the steamed bread made by yeast fermentation is also called live noodle steamed bread, which is more fluffy and soft than the dead noodle steamed bread made by edible alkali and baking powder, with no pungent smell of alkali, more stable quality and fast fermentation speed, but slightly inferior to wheat flavor.
From the health point of view, yeast contains a lot of protein and B vitamins, which can help promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and protect the digestive function of gastrointestinal tract. At present, we usually eat fine staple food, rarely eat coarse grains, and there is little vitamin B in flour and rice, so eating fermented food properly can give us some supplements.
Secondly, after the flour is fermented, the gelatinization degree of starch granules will become higher, so it is easier to be wrapped by gastric acid and digested quickly, which is very beneficial to people with poor gastric function and indigestion, and is conducive to reducing their gastrointestinal digestive burden, but for diabetics, the glycemic index will also rise faster.

Bread is also a fermented product, but the calories of bread are relatively high, and when bread produces Maillard reaction, it actually loses protein, so the remaining nutrition is very limited. In addition, the acrylamide produced by steamed bread without high temperature baking is much lower than that of bread, and the retention probability of lysine is much higher than that of bread, so eating steamed bread often is healthier than eating bread, and you can also eat some whole grain fermented products.
