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

Red Star Yeast is consistent. It works great for my bread. I can't find it in the store, so I'm glad I found it here.

Good value product. It keeps well when refrigerated and works out to be a fraction of the cost. If you like to bake, this works well and saves money.

If you do lots of baking you will want this for both quantity and quality. Put an ounce in a small jar to keep on the shelf and put the rest in your freezer.

Came nicely vacuum sealed, decent price and expiration date is way ahead in time too... I used it and it seems to rise my bread nicely. I did reseal iflt really good and put it in the fridge to keep it Active. Will buy again when I need to. Expiration date is way ahead in time too. Quick Shipping!!

This is the best yeast I've found for making bread. I like it because it's a lot simpler to measure out what I need for bread instead of using the packets. I make bread about every week so I've been getting a lot of use out of this yeast.

I out the yeast in the fridge to see if i can get more out if the six month shelf life it came with. It worked fast when i made my bread last week. Definitely a value for only 10 bucks. I can make bread when i need it now (for stews and soups and spaghetti) Bakes nice. Its only yeast. Not very fresh in that it has a 6 month shelf life when other brands guarantee 2 years. I would get a different brand in the future.

I wasn't sure about this since some reviews said it wasn't active. I just got it and tested it, it's very active (I just made a bloom by mixing it with warm water and sugar. Made a huge bloom in about 5-10 minutes. I know from experience this means it's good without needing to bake with it. I split it up into 5 packets, and wrapped them very tightly and put them in the freezer for storage. I won't need to buy yeast for a long time. Used one packet to fill up my Fleishmann's yeast jar and froze the other four. It looks and acts just like Fleishmann's but at a fraction of the price.

I made cinnamon rolls and Italian bread, each with very different ingredients, but the rise in each was perfection. The yeast is fresh, the value is excellent, quality is excellent. As for storing, it comes vacuum packed so package delates slightly when opened and I'm storing it in a quart container in the fridge. Excellent yeast.
