I still regularly use some I purchased 12 years ago… keep going.
This bread looks amazing. I am sure it tasted yummy! Ditto here, I still have the yeast I bought during the pandemic when yeast and flour were out of stock pretty much everywhere. It has expired in 2022 but still going strong. I do have a backup fresh yeast for that day when this one won’t proof anymore because hey, you never know! LOL
Guess it didn’t expire then huh? That’s because the date is not an expiration date. It’s a best by date and it’s just a guess. Nothing magically happens on the expiration date.
How long did you have it frozen
Careful, Zombie Yeast hungers for GRAAAAIIINNNSSS…
I’ve had my freezer yeast since 2020 and it’s still going strong.
Can confirm, bread yeast lasts for many, many years past its expiration date.
Decades ago I bought a Sam’s club brick of yeast. It lasted me at many, many years.
I kept it in the freezer in jars. Still worked when I threw it out because I was moving out of state.
i keep mine in the freezer and it lasts ages and ages
I have 15 year old yeast that came from sams club in a large package, but the cost wasn’t much more than buying the small packets at the time. Like $5 for a large block of it. It still works and I have been wondering about this…
yeast doesn’t expire. (i might be talking out of my ass) but i’m pretty sure the only way it goes bad is if it spoils but time won’t do that to yeast only mold and certain poor conditions.
