fermentable
Yeast can process
Fermentable describes substances that can undergo fermentation—the process where microorganisms like yeast or bacteria break down sugars into alcohol, acids, or gases.
Brewers speak of fermentable sugars in grain, winemakers of fermentable juice.
In digestion, fermentable fiber feeds gut bacteria: Beans contain highly fermentable carbohydrates.
