Any uses for post mortem yeast?
Any uses for post mortem yeast?
I found a 1 lb. still-sealed bag of baking yeast in the back of a cupboard
dead as hell. It is years old and barely foams after proofing.
Other than a proper landfill funeral I am wondering if there are any
possible uses for it -- as nutrients ala adding Wheat Germ, that type of
thing -- or maybe fish food (?) (looks kind of like it.) Sprinkle it on
peanut-butter toast? Non-food uses -- make a paste for a facial? Who knows,
I don't -- any suggestions or warnings?

This might sound crazy but yeast is my secret ingredient to make
chicken fried tofu. I'm from the south (of the US) and love everything
chicken-fried, but my significant other is a vegetarian. After many
failed experiments trying to make tofu in a way I could enjoy, this is
what we discovered. Just use the yeast with a little black and/or red
pepper and salt as the coating for the tofu. It infuses it with a
meaty flavor and is just about the only coating we could ever manage
to stay on the tofu (it weeps a little when cooking).
Like I said, I know this is really weird, but hey maybe you will be as
astonished at the results as I was.
