Red Star® Organic™ Instant Yeast

One (0.32 ounce/9 gram) packet of Red Star Organic Instant Yeast is equivalent to one standard (0.25 ounce / 7 gram) packet of active dry or instant yeast. Simply substitute one full packet of Red Star Organic Instant Yeast for one standard packet of dry yeast in any recipe. Instant yeast has a faster rate of action than active dry yeast; therefore, your dough MAY rise faster. Simply monitor your dough while it is rising and adjust the time as needed.

Red Star Organic Instant Yeast is a living organism and must be handled properly to ensure optimum performance. Never expose yeast to high temperatures during storage or use.

• Store this product at a comfortable room temperature, away from heat sources.
• This product may also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer; this is ideal for longer-term storage. Prior to use, take out only the number of packets you plan to use and bring to room temperature for about 20 – 30 minutes.

If you are unsure about the activity of your yeast, test it using our Yeast Activity Test.

For best results, use the package prior to the best if used by date stamped on the package.  This date is 2 years from the date the yeast was packaged.

The yeast packets are flushed with nitrogen at the time of packaging to remove oxygen.

Don’t forget that yeast is a living organism, and its freshness and shelf life are dependent on how the yeast is stored. Dry yeast will lose its leavening power faster if exposed to air, moisture or heat, even when it is still in an unopened package.
