Review: GOOD PRODUCT AT A VERY GOOD PRICE. - SECOND BATCH, IT HAS PROVIDED EXCELLENT RISE IN MY BREAD. SHALL CONTINUE TO BUY THIS YEAST. Review: It's yeast - I recently bought the Red Star Active Dry Yeast, 2 Pound Bag, and I’m extremely happy with my purchase. The package arrived promptly and was well-sealed, ensuring that the yeast stayed fresh and undamaged during shipping. I’m using this yeast for a homemade CO2 generator in my plant room, and it has been working exceptionally well. The yeast activates quickly and produces a steady stream of CO2, which is essential for the growth and health of my plants. Since I started using it, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the vigor and overall growth rate of my indoor garden. The quality of the yeast is excellent. It dissolves easily in water, and I haven’t encountered any issues with clumping or inconsistent activation. The instructions on the package are clear and easy to follow, which made setting up my CO2 generator a breeze. I simply mix the yeast with sugar and water, and within a short period, it starts producing CO2 efficiently. Another great aspect of this product is the quantity. The 2-pound bag is very generous and provides plenty of yeast for multiple batches of CO2 production. This makes it a cost-effective solution for maintaining a high CO2 environment in my plant room over an extended period. Although I’m using this yeast primarily for my plants, I’ve also used it for baking a few times, and it performs just as well. It rises consistently and produces excellent bread and pastries, which is a nice bonus. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the Red Star Active Dry Yeast. It’s a high-quality, versatile product that has significantly benefited my indoor gardening setup. If you’re looking for an effective and reliable yeast for CO2 generation or baking, I highly recommend this product. It has made a noticeable difference in my plant room, and I’m confident it will meet your needs as well. ## Features - Comes in a hefty, 2 Pound Vacuum Packed Pouch - Active Dry Yeast from one of the most popular brands worldwide - This is active dry yeast, and is ideally used for temperatures between 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit - Active Dry Yeast is designed for yeast-leavened bread and dough - From the popular brand Red Star - This is active dry yeast, and is ideally used for temperatures between 110-115 degrees Farenheit - Allergen information: walnut_free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005KR0MZG | | ASIN | B005KR0MZG | | Age Range Description | 24 Months and Above | | Allergen Information | Walnut Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,710 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #2 in Instant Dry Yeasts | | Brand Name | Red Star | | Coin Variety 1 | Dry Yeast | | Color | White Blue and Red | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | African American | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (13,468) | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Flavor | Active Dry Yeast | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00117929157002 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.92 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 907 Grams | | Item model number | 2751 | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Red Star | | Manufacturer | Red Star | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 3 x 4.5 inches; 2 Pounds | | Size | 32 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 117929157002 017929157005 786173797359 696449829076 | | UPC | 117929157002 017929157005 786173797359 696449829076 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Ounce | | Units | 32.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Red Star - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 907 Grams - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 32.0 Ounce ## Images ![Active Dry Yeast, 2 Pound Pouch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C-Bxag1aL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the expiration date?** A: If you put the yeast in sealed containers and freeze it, it extends the expiration date by 10 years. Just be sure that you use water as hot as it comes out of the tap to activate it. **Q: Why price gouge at $55 / $60 when the regular cost is $10?** A: This is sold by Red Star and is $29 so I don’t think they’re price gouging. A 4oz jar is $5.99 at the grocery store. This is a 2lbs bag. **Q: Does this product contain Sorbitan Monostearate, or is it just the yeast?** A: I was concerned about that question too. My shipment arrived yesterday and it's just the yeast. **Q: Can this yeast be used for baking bread with a bread machine? Or do you have to use bread machine yeast?** A: I use this in a bread machine - but keep in mind that some bread machines are designed with shorter "rise" times and are designed for use with Instant Yeast which has a faster rise time. In this case, proof the yeast first (mix your warm liquid, sugar and yeast and let it get frothy - 5-15 min depending on temp of your ingredients) before using the machine. Since I dislike having holes in my bread, I use a bread machine to mix up my dough and take it OUT for the final rise (in my bread pan or braided or whatever the final product I'm looking for is). That lets you have the best of both worlds.... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GOOD PRODUCT AT A VERY GOOD PRICE. *by T***P on April 5, 2026* SECOND BATCH, IT HAS PROVIDED EXCELLENT RISE IN MY BREAD.
