I got a good rise in my bread dough, and the finished loaf of bread came out great. I prefer instant yeast (vs. active) because you don't have to mix it with warm water before using. It's hard to find yeast in bulk at your regular grocery store, and the small jars they sell are really expensive. This 1lb pack (which came in a bundle of 3 1lb packs) is a good value and so much less expensive than one jar at the grocery store (each 1lb pack was only about $1 more than a 5 oz jar purchased locally for about $6). This brand came highly recommended by other bakers in a bakers forum, so I gave it a try. I would buy this brand again. Review: The Best Yeast I Have Ever Used - I have making bread for three decades or more and there is nothing more disappointing than when after all your hard work your dough fails to rise properly. Conversely, when the first rise looks perfect and your work is rewarded, even after all these years, I get a feeling of satisfaction. Bread baking is an art and you need the best tools. That is where SAF Instant Yeast comes in. I have used all different brands of yeast, but once I tried this product I never went back. If consistent, quality performance from your yeast is important, don't hesitate to give this product a try. It will not disappoint. ## Features - Safe Instant Yeast is one of the top selling yeasts in the world - Comes in a large, 16-ounce (1 Pound) vacuum-packed bag - Store in an airtight container; for 6 months at room temperature or in the fridge; or for a year or longer in your freezer - Fast acting and long lasting - Saf Instant Yeast is one of the top selling yeasts in the world - Allergen Information: Shellfish Free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082ZS726X | | Age Range Description | Adults | | Allergen Information | Shellfish Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #178,728 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #128 in Active Dry Yeasts | | Brand | SAF Instant | | Brand Name | SAF Instant | | Coin Variety 1 | Yeast | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | African American | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 997 Reviews | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 1.4 kg | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Leavening Agent Type | Instant Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | SAF | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Set Name | Pack of 3 | | Size | 16 Ounce (Pack of 3) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 707296281006 305364936393 | | Unit Count | 48 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SAF Instant - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 3 - **Unit Count:** 48.0 Ounce ## Images ![SAF Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch, 16 Ounce (Pack of 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719yU+maU3L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do people like this brand better than the two other store brands?** A: SAF is far better than other store brands. I always use less of this than the recipe calls for because it is that good. **Q: Do you use the same amount of SAF instant yeast as active dry yeast that a recipe calls for?** A: Actually, the equivalent would be a little less. 1 teaspoon of instant yeast is equal to 1 1/4 teaspoon of dry active. So if your splitting hair you only need to use 80% of active dry yeast measurement when using instant. That's why weighing is so much better than measuring volume, conversions are easy. The closest equivalent to instant yeast in the supermarket is bread machine yeast, in fact, I would stick my neck out to guess bread machine yeast IS probably instant yeast simply re-packaged as bread machine yeast. What's important to know about instant yeast is it gives the most uniform and repeatable results compared to all other "consumer" forms of yeast. That's why commercial bakers depend on it and scale using it in large batches with repeatable results without worry or messing around. Buy a bag, put it in an airtight container and store it in the freezer. I've kept mine that for 3 or 4 years with no ill effects and replace it just as a matter of routine. You will never use even half of it. **Q: How is this yeast in a bread machine?** A: Great. I got a book with tons of bread machine recipes and they highly recommended this yeast. I also used it in my Thanksgiving rolls and it worked wonderfully **Q: Interested in buying but reviewer has negative comments about expiration. How do I make sure it will be fresh or do you recommend buying somewhere els** A: I just received my order and it is a year old already. Manufacture date is 1/1/18, expiration is 1/1/20. So effectively I have 1 year to use this product before expiration. However, the price is good and the product should be good past the expiration date. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality instant yeast *by J***R on March 1, 2026* The product worked as intended.

It will not disappoint. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent yeast with 18 months before expiration date *by L***E on April 24, 2020* I bought the three, one-pound packages of SAF instant yeast from Taste of Arabia. The items arrived in a heavy bubble pack more quickly than I expected and were in fine condition with no damage. The yeast was manufactured in October 2019 and expires October 2021, which means 18 months remaining, a very acceptable amount of time, especially during the corona crisis when yeast is very hard to find. These were certainly not short-dated packages. Normally, I just store most of the yeast I will be using in the next few weeks in the refrigerator, since we make quite a lot of baked goods and the yeast just gets used up quickly; but with the corona crisis, I am taking extra measures to ensure that I have yeast available long-term and that it doesn't go bad. This SAF yeast can be kept far longer than the expiration date. To prolong the life span of the yeast, don't open the factory-sealed package until you begin to use it. Store any unopened/opened packages in the freezer in a sealed plastic freezer bag stored inside an airtight glass jar to keep out moisture (I use canning jars), preferably with a light-tight/light-reducing wrapper, such as aluminum foil, etc. The less light and the less moisture available, the longer the yeast will maintain its strength. Take out only what you will use in a couple of weeks or so, store it in the refrigerator in a glass jar, and return remainder to the freezer. With care, SAF instant yeast stored this way can last several years beyond its expiration date. For yeast well beyond its expiration date, you can proof a small amount to make sure that it is still active. Don't proof instant yeast and then add it to your mixture to be baked because instant yeast activates so quickly that it can lose efficacy if proofed first. Instead, sprinkle a small amount, an eighth or quarter teaspoon, of the instant yeast into a separate bowl containing a small amount of warm sugar water. Stir to mix. If the yeast starts making bubbles of carbon dioxide after a few minutes, it is still good. Discard this small test amount of instant yeast. Use the dry instant yeast from your package to make your baked items. Good luck with your baking, and stay safe. ## Frequently Bought Together - SAF Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch, 16 Ounce (Pack of 3) - Hoosier Hill Farm Dry Malt (Diastatic) Baking Powder, 1.5LB (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/180448572-saf-instant-yeast-1-pound-pouch-16-ounce-pack-3](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/180448572-saf-instant-yeast-1-pound-pouch-16-ounce-pack-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
