 Quality and ValueSep 04, 2007
By A. G. S.

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.

The best so farMar 08, 2007

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.

 BEWARE OF BOB'S RED MILL YEASTNov 02, 2010
By Betsy Heimbuch
I purchased this Yeast because the description stated that the only ingredient was YEAST. However, when I received it I found that SORBITAN MONOSTEARATE has been added to the yeast. I am allergic to sorbital and sorbitan is a derivative of sorbital. If you google Sorbitan Monostearate you will find many discussions about the allergic properties of sorbital/sorbitan.
I called Bob's Red Mill who did not care and put all the blame on amazon.com
So for those of you with allergies or want plain yeast buy Red Star active yeast in the red, white, & blue packages and you will find only yeast. Do not buy the Red Star in jars, or the one for bread making as they also contain sorbitan. I emailed the Red Star company for this information.
It certainly is becoming a challenge to find products that don't have additives.

great yeast!!May 27, 2008
By F. C. Brotzman
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.

It worksJul 28, 2007
By Bonne Maman
This 8-pack has lasted me more than a year and I will probably restock it when I run out. It took a while before I learned that the water must be nearly but not exceed 115 degrees Fahrenheit to get the yeast to bloom. Now that I own a stand mixer, I have finally made bread successfully at home. It is very convenient to have had this 8 pack.
Last year, this 8 pack cost a dollar less than this year i.e. $21.
