Baker's Yeast and [[Brewer's Yeast]] both turn sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Both of these yeasts are made from strains of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae fungus, but each from different strains of this species. Brewer's yeast and baker's yeast differ in their composition, uses and health factors. Baker’s yeast is dried at low temperatures and the yeast are still alive while brewer’s yeast is a by-product that is dried at high temperatures so the yeast is no longer alive.
==Special Precautions of Baker’s Yeast==
* Baker's yeast is an active yeast. In an active yeast the yeast cells are still alive, whereas they are killed in the process of making inactive yeasts, like [[Brewer's Yeast]].
