As extracted from yeast, even today! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'even today' is the definition.
'yet' can be an answer for 'even' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'today' bit.

'as extracted from yeast' is the wordplay.
'extracted from' is a deletion indicator.
'yeast' with 'as' removed is 'YET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yet that I've seen before include "Up to the present time" , "To this time, nevertheless" , "Thus far" , "Although" , "'But, however (3)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
