Red Star® Active Dry Bakers Yeast 1 lb. Vacuum Packed Dry Yeast

Red Star® Active Dry Bakers Yeast

Red Star® Active Dry Yeast is the "gold standard" for traditional home baking. Established in 1887, it is positioned as a reliable, all-natural leavening agent that bridges the gap between historical artisan techniques and modern convenience.

 ADVANTAGES 

• The "Slow & Steady" Advantage: Unlike "Rapid" or "Instant" yeasts that prioritize speed, Red Star Active Dry Yeast is marketed for its moderate, steady leavening rate. This slower fermentation allows for deeper flavor development and a superior crumb structure in finished breads.

• Purity & Clean Label: It is the only all-natural, single-ingredient active dry yeast on the market. It contains no preservatives or additives—just pure yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

• Heritage & Trust: Backed by over 135 years of experience, the brand targets "success-oriented" bakers who value the ritual of "proofing" and the reliability of a time-tested brand.

WHO USES ACTIVE DRY YEAST

• Bakers who follow family recipes passed down through generations that specifically call for "active dry" and proofing.
• Those who prefer a long, slow rise (including refrigerated doughs) to maximize complex, fermented notes.
• Health-conscious shoppers looking for GMO-free, gluten-free, and vegan-certified ingredients with zero additives.
• Users of standard/dough cycles who want consistent results without the "yeasty" smell sometimes associated with fast-acting types.
