Did you know that the commercial yeast found in stores is only a single strain of yeast, when countless varieties exist in your environment already? Why pay for that manufactured product? Instead, you can have a richer, more diverse culture when you harvest your own yeast from nature. Wild yeast is abundant, easy to cultivate, tasty, and healthy. It lends a terrific flavor to all your baked goods, and may even reduce food sensitivities in people who have trouble tolerating grains and wheat, since it's less refined, unprocessed and loaded with so many different varieties. You might have a friend with a wild yeast starter, in which case, ask for a scoop and begin feeding it! But if you want to start from scratch, Roe Sie, from the King's Roost, teaches you how to catch wild yeast in your own kitchen with a bit of flour and some water (or pineapple juice!) to start your own colony from scratch. It's easy and fun.
