(SAF Instant Yeast) **Q: I revived my order today. however, the bag is not hard like it this normally is. should i be concerned? i cannot locate a tear or hole.** A: It will age faster while on shelf without vacuum seal working. It might still be good but you may wish to consider an exchange. **Q: Is this the same type of yeast that comes in packets? So I just add that same amount to my flour ?** A: No, it is instant or rapid yeast. Recipes specifically call for it. To my understanding, the yeast in packets is “active yeast” and needs to be mixed with warm water to be activated. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, good yeast. *by P***E on April 21, 2026* Great price.
