Worked well, but didn’t last as long as it said it would

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

The product itself is perfect. It is one of the few products on the market that has yeast as the sole ingredient. I have kids with food allergies, so this has been really important to keep in the pantry. I make bread a few times a week. Lately, the yeast has been acting old and weak. I’m including a photo of my loaf pan with yeast, 100° warm water, sugar, and oil. I let it sit for 20 minutes and as you can see, there is no yeast activity. I had purchased this 90-pouch package of yeast in Sept 2022, and the expiration date on all the pouches is Jan 2024. I kept them in my kitchen pantry which never experiences extreme heat nor cold nor humidity. I’m bummed that I still have quite a bit left and it’s practically unusable.

This is the Stuff. Remember -- This is ACTIVE Yeast (Not INSTANT Yeast). Read On for Explanation.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great quality yeast at a really cheap price.

If you buy this from Amazon you get 2 lbs of yeast for about the same price as 8 oz of yeast in those strips you buy at the supermarket. I just tossed the whole two-pound package into a zip-lock bag and keep it in my refrigerator.

Make SURE you understand the difference between the different types of yeast (which can be confusing!) This product is ACTIVE YEAST. Here's some great info from the amazing folks at Cooks Illustrated:

Active dry yeasts arrive at their granular state by undergoing processes that reduce them to 95 percent dry matter. Traditional active dry yeast is exposed to heat so high that many of its cells are destroyed in the process. Because the spent outer cells encapsulate living centers, active dry yeast must first be dissolved in a relatively hot liquid (proofed) to slough off dead cells and reach the living centers.

Substitution Formulas

To substitute active dry for instant (or rapid rise) yeast: Use 25 percent more active dry. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of instant yeast, use 1 1/4 teaspoons of active dry. And don't forget to "prove" the yeast, i.e. dissolving it in a portion of the water from the recipe, heated to 105 degrees.

To substitute instant (or rapid rise) yeast for active dry: Use about 25 percent less. For example if the recipe calls for 1 packet or 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast, use 1 3/4 teaspoons of instant yeast. And you do not need to prove the yeast, just add it to the dry ingredients.

To substitute fresh yeast for active dry yeast, use a ratio of roughly 2:1, i.e. use one small cake (0.6 ounce) of compressed fresh yeast in lieu of 1 packet (.25 ounces) of active dry yeast.

Note a packet of active dry or instant yeast contains about 2 1/4 teaspoons (.25 ounces) of yeast.

I can enjoy yeast bread again

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 1, 2010

Verified Purchase

Several people have commented on how well this yeast works as well as how economical it is so I won't be repetitive, I'll just wholeheartedly agree. The only thing I'm doing different is I'm freezing all of it and taking it out when I'm ready to bake. However, this is not the reason I purchased the yeast in the first place.
I have never had any problems with yeast bread until I recently started making my own bread. I had used a machine years ago with no adverse effect from the Fleischmann's yeast. When I decided to start making bread again, I wanted to challenge myself and try to do the kneading and the whole nine yards without the use of any machines, well except my mill, not into rock pounding grains:). Besides, it might prove to be a necessity someday. My problem was, no matter what bread I made, even very sweet cinnamon rolls or how well the bread came out, the smell of the yeast overwhelmed me and made me ill so much so that I couldn't even stand the smell of my house let alone stomach the bread. I would also taste the yeast for many hours later if I ate any of it. I could only surmise that I had developed some sort of allergy to it. I was pretty much beside myself, one because I had still had a good bit of Whole Grain wheat left & an expensive new mill but two because I could walk into Restaurants and bakeries and the smell of the yeast rolls baking made my mouth water. So what in the heck was wrong with the Fleischmann's? To my dismay, I couldn't find anyone else with a similar problem. So I studied many hours to learn how to make my own starters and even tried a friends Amish starter but bread did not get the raise I wanted nor the lightness. Neither am I a sourdough kind of girl & if I wanted cake, I would have made a cake, not bread want-to-be. I wasn't ready to give up and thank goodness I didn't.
When I found this yeast, I was like why not, if it stinks, I can put it through my septic tank.
I made bread yesterday and to my delightful surprise it didn't make me sick, & I'm sure pouring it into jars stirred it up in the air a bit too. I halved the amount of yeast I used in the recipe, just to play it safe, and it did the job perfectly. I can't lie and say I thoroughly enjoyed the smell of the yeast, but the unpleasantness was minimal. I hope this doesn't change but at least for now, I can love my yeast breads again.

Good, active yeast.

I've been making bread with cheap Walmart yeast for a long time. When I ran out I ordered this larger package and I won't go back. It's more cost effective, and it's so much more active than what I'm used to. You can tell when you proof it and smell it that it's much more potent. I'm a huge fan!

Pain et pâtisserie, j’ai reçus ma levure et je suis très déçu, premièrement elle n’était pas emballé sous vide, après deux essais ce fut un échec, une cuillère à soupe dans une tasse d’eau à 110f et aucune réaction à mon deuxième essai j’ai abaissé la température à 95f et les résultats n’ont pas été meilleurs. Je fais mon pain et pâtisserie depuis plus de 25 ans et je n’ai jamais eu ce problème avec d’autres levures tel que fleichman ou autre. Le prix de la red star est 4 à 6 fois trop cher.

Rising Beyond My Expectations

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Delivery was very fast. The product packaging is undamaged, with the vacuum seal still intact. I have not yet had a chance to open and use this item, but I ordered it because I very recently received a free sample of Red Star Yeast, and I was so impressed by its performance that I immediately ordered this greater quantity. I have been baking breads for years, and assumed that any active yeast was much like any other. Not so. The final rising and oven spring are more stable, with less post-baking deflating than I had come to consider normal. My new favourite.

This yeast is garbage! I just opened it two days ago and tried to bake the rolls I've been successfully for years. The dough didn't rise, but I thought I'd done something wrong and tried again. I've now wasted eleven cups of flour.

I used this yeast in the bread machine as well as I used it to make cinnamon buns by hand. I was very satisfied with the results!
This is an excellent yeast and non GMO.
Individual packages of other yeasts measure 2 1/2 teaspoons the measurement for this yeast is the same.
I originally bought this product because I couldn’t find any in the stores. I will now only use this brand.
Delivery was within 7 days—-excellent!
