Red Star Active Dry Yeast 16 oz (1 pound) size (3 Pack)

I always had problems getting good yeast locally. I don't think our grocery stores know how to store it properly. I decided to try Amazon and bought a 2 pound vacuum pack 2 years ago. Once the package was opened I stored the yeast in the refrigerator in a well sealed container and brought it to room temperature when I needed to use it. It performed very well. When I started running low I was pleased to find a 1 pound vacuum pack. I've baked bread using it and it is performing equally well. The vacuum pack increases my chances of getting good, active yeast to start with. After that, it's up to me to store it properly so it maintains its ability to make fat loaves of bread.

I’m a vegan baker and have been using the bobs red mill active dry yeast for some time now and there’s always an issue with the yeast. It rises, but not as much and slowly. I got fed up and bought the red star yeast. So hard to explain, but just by changing the brand of yeast my dough is softer, rises faster, and rises beautifully.

I bake a lot at home. Between breads and pizza, I use substantial quantities of yeast, of course not as much as a commercial operation, but enough more to avoid the pricey small yeast packets sold at supermarkets. This is where I see the value of this item.

This is a great yeast, have been using it for almost ten years for all my bread baking. Have tried others but this is the one I always come back to. Never any problems, and always a great rise to my bread.

This is my favorite, all time no-fail yeast. It comes vacuum sealed and compressed into a neat package. I always empty it into a rubber gasket-ed jar and keep it in the refrigerator. I've never had it fail.

I use both active dry yeast and instant yeast, and store each in sealed glass containers in the freezer. This Red Star yeast was very fresh and a great price. Definitely recommend!

Better than buying envelopes. I store in a ball qt jar in my refrigerator. Great for pizza night fridays
