About the Brand

Bob Moore's secret to life may just be "work hard and keep it simple." Living this philosophy, Bob literally puts his nose to the grindstone every day. Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods is an Oregon-based company that utilizes simple, old-world technology to mill hundreds of all-natural whole grain products.

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."

"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."

Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

Product Description

To your good health. One level tbsp of Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast equals 1/4 ounce or one standard packet of yeast. Put in a jar and keep refrigerated and it will stay active for many months. Free of preservatives and chemical additives.

This review is from: Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast, 8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 8) (Grocery)

I've baked with other Bob's Red Mill products before and I finally got a case of the Active Dry Yeast. A great deal when you consider the price of those pouches or even the small jars in the grocery store. The yeast is consistently well behaved and the bags are a convenient size. Bulk without having to feel like you need to rush through before the yeast looses its efficacy.

The only thing that bothers me is the labeling. I think Bob's Red Mill ought to consider fixing the front label where it says "Must Be Refrigerated". There's no need to refrigerate until AFTER a bag has been opened. A couple extra words explanation would keep from scaring off some would-be buyers not experienced with yeast.

I bake 3-4 times per week, and honestly can say that this product is great.
I tried it for the first time to make bread - I almost cried: my bread was the best I ever made.
I will buy it again for sure.

I was a little nervous about buying so much yeast without ever trying this brand. It is the best yeast I have ever used!!! My favorite part is the seperate packages, I just empty one into a jar and use it that way. The rest is in my bulk supplies staying fresh and ready to be used. I will surely be buying more when mine is gone.
