Yeast was a species of microscopic fungus that received wide use in alcohol-making[11][4] and baking across the Realms.[13][1]
Description[]
Yeast had a distinct smell often associated with baking.[5] It flourished in warm areas but high temperature killed yeast.[1]
Uses[]
In the days of ancient Netheril, fruity yeast grew on grains cultivated by the empire.[10]
In Eltabbar,[7] Berdusk,[4] and Zakhara, yeast was used in wine-making, being added into jugs of juice from pulverized grapes and sealed to ferment.[11]
Elminster's Choice was a type of dark beer from Immersea that was cloudy with yeast.[3]
Ayakar, a coastal town in Turmish, was famed for its sourdough bread made with a type of naturally occurring yeast from the sea. That export was the inspiration behind a common saying "May your bread be sour, and your salt be fresh."[6]
Beyond the Prime Material plane, a drink called Abyss' Alive and Kicking was made in Zelatar of Azzagrat. The dire wheat brew was made and consumed with living bubbling yeast.[12]
The spell age wine, used in the city of Ravens Bluff required a pinch of yeast as a spell component.[9]
Locations[]
The Larawkan Lane in Selgaunt had a constant strong aroma of yeast and freshly baked bread.[13] That pleasant aroma also was encountered in the City of Splendors, Waterdeep.[2] In the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale, yeast was a trade commodity often carried by merchants alongside flour and spices.[8]
