Fiber supports better digestion and helps you feel full longer, which can help with balanced eating across your 3 meals and 1\u20132 snacks. The fat is low (about 1.3 g) and sodium is relatively low (about 50 mg). Since yeast is usually used in small amounts in bread and dough, the real health impact depends on the final food you eat (like the bread\u2019s flour type and portion).","healthier_tips":["Choose breads and baked goods made with whole grains when possible, since they add more fiber and nutrients.","Watch portions: treat bread\/pastries as part of your meal or snack, not as \u201cextra\u201d on top of your usual rice\/ulam.","Pair with protein and fiber for better balance (e.g., bread with eggs, tuna, or peanut butter; add fruit or veggies on the side).","If you\u2019re baking at home, use yeast as directed, but focus on the flour and add-ins (whole wheat, seeds, or oats) for better nutrition."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/yeast-bakers-active-dry?agent=true"}}}
