Works great for our small bakery! We were buying packs from the store but this size is much more cost-effective for us! Good quality and didn't expire anytime soon, unlike some packages you see at the store.

This yeast is a great deal. I am new to bread baking and yeast is so over priced in the store, I am glad I found these 1lb packages. I have seen these packages at much higher cost from other popular online retailers. The WEBstaurant Store has the best prices.

High quality yeast for baking anything you like. I like to keep the instant and active on hand depending on the recipe as both are versatile.

Red Star dry active yeast is the only yeast I use. Buying this way is better than the small packets and saves money. The yeast is always fresh, and I have never had a problem.

I haven't actually used the yeast yet, as I am waiting for my old one to finish. i do like the fact that it is air tight sealed when it got to me.

I love Lesaffre yeast. I love this kind but, I must admit I do prefer the Lesaffre Premium Instant brand yeast. This yeast is a great yeast if you prefer active dry yeast. Lesaffre makes the best yeast.

This is my favorite brand of active dry yeast. It dissolves quickly when placed in warm water for proofing. The end results it produces for baked goods is wonderful!

Great active dry yeast. This is the best price for active dry yeast that I have found so far. Stores for weeks since it is vacuum sealed so I always keep backups on my shelves.

A quality affordable choice for all of your yeasted products. This item blooms quickly and has a wonderfully rich aroma and flavor. The one pound size is perfect for keeping smaller amounts of yeast open ensuring that the yeast is always fresh when working in higher volume establishments.

This yeast is SUCH a good deal compared to the individual packets you find at the grocery store! It works great and it stays fresh for a long time too, as long as you store it in a cool, dry place.

The yeast is well packaged, good quality and very inexpensive. Mine arrived fresh, with well over a year of life in the yeast, so it won't go bad quickly, either. Red star is a trusted brand, which is always a bonus.

I make so many different kinds of dough on a regular enough basis to justify needing this much yeast. Pizza dough, cinnamon rolls and other pastries, dinner roll and bread dough, you name it. This is a necessity.

I bought this for personal use. Homemade bread is a staple at my house. So far it works great. I hope that it doesn't expire before I use it all, but even if i don't get all the way through it, financially it will still be worth it over the cost at the local stores.
