vue - Healthy Yeast From Non-GMO Molasses | Pacific Fermentation

Dr. Sai Lee is the respected microbiologist behind the pure yeast used in One Degree bread. He selected the perfect ingredient for growing yeast — molasses — and the best non-GMO source for creating molasses that he could find: pure Hawaiian sugar cane. That choice was emblematic of Dr. Lee's penchant for scrutinizing details while also considering long-term consequences. Competing yeast producers often use beet sugar or high fructose corn syrup made from corn starch as a raw ingredient. Genetic modification of corn, of course, has been extensive; and just last year the USDA approved the planting of a GMO "Roundup ready" variety of sugar beet. Maintaining a wholly non-GMO facility is a top priority for Dr. Lee and his company, British Columbia-based Pacific Fermentation.
