EDITORIAL REVIEWS |
Product Description
High quality yeast great to use for all baking. Active Dry Yeast is cake yeast in a semi-dormant state. The drying process in its manufacture, reduces moisture content to about 7%, giving it a longer shelf life than cake yeast. When rehydrated, it provides ultimate baking activity in all yeast dough, low sugar to highly sweetened breads. |

FANTASTIC DEAL by Kim (New York)  5 Stars
November 07, 2009
TOTALLY AGREE with the two previous reviewers. Have frozen about half of the content, and put the rest in 3 of 4oz jars and kept the two in the regular compartment of the refrigerator and one outside in room temperature. This BRAND works very well with my bread-making effort. Fantastically MORE economical than buying in small packets in supermarkets. On the strength of the first reviewer I took a chance and appreciate her taking time to review -- so I'm doing the same.
Seller, please DO NOT RAISE PRICES ON THE STRENGTH OF OUR GOOD REVIEWS -- BRISK SELLING SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH REWARD. BOUGHT 2 POUNDS FOR $14.88 --JUST TO PUT THE SELLER ON NOTICE. HAVE OBSERVED IN THE PAST THAT AS SOON AS I BOUGHT ITEMS FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS FOR MY RELATIVES, SOON AFTER, THE PRICES HAVE RISEN CONSIDERABLY -- THIS HAS MADE ME WARY OF REVIEWING PRODUCTS WITH CONSIDERABLE ENTHUSIASM.

Stop buying yeast from stores by H. Vardhan (Bay Area, CA) 5 Stars
October 21, 2009
If you bake on a regular basis, you also know that the tiny packets most grocery stores sell their yeast in are pretty expensive (75c per use at least). This bag has the same product without the extraneous packaging and will serve you for months while bringing your yeast cost per bread/cake down to pennies (10-15x cheaper :)). Please note that yeast needs to be kept in the fridge once it is open.

Best yeast by LDS (Corning, CA) 5 Stars
September 01, 2009
My daughter-in-law gave me a 2 pound bag of Red Star yeast last Christmas and it has lasted me 8 months, baking a loaf of bread almost everyday. I take a small amount and put it in one of my old 4 ounce yeast jars and freeze the rest and it has kept very well. In my opinion Red Star is the best yeast out there, but not always available at my supermarket and you can't beat the price, 2 pounds for $14.88 sure beats $8.99 for a 4 ounce jar at the supermarket.
