What You Should Know

You'd spot a small packet or jar of RED STAR Active Dry Yeast in the baking aisle or your pantry when you're planning to bake bread, rolls, or pizza at home. It feels practical and comforting — the ritual of proofing yeast often brings nostalgic, home-baked memories. The label lists only 'YEAST', a single dried culture with minimal additives, so its texture is granular and it reads like a basic ingredient rather than an ultra-processed convenience food.
