Differences In Yeast

Can someone explain the differences in yeast? I know there is instant, active and then there is yeast for the bread machine (which I think is faster acting than regular yeast).

I am looking at ordering some bulk yeast. Is SAF a good brand of yeast? I use bread machine yeast typically - and like it because the rise time is about 1/2 that of regular yeast. I am thinking the SAF yeast will have the longer rise time? But then the King Arthur website mentions active versus instant. Didn't know there was a difference! :unsure:

Active yeast has to be bloomed in water. It comes in the small packets.

Instant, which is also rapid rise, bread machine, quick rise, and so on, doesn't have to be bloomed and can be added in with your dry ingredients. It also rises faster.

I don't know if you belong to Sam's Club, but their price on yeast is hard to beat. It's two 1 lb bags for around four dollars. The little brown jar runs about $6 at the grocery. I make sure I get one with a long expire date. I put the open one in the freezer. Really, it so much cheaper, you could throw the other one away and do better.

Thanks TrillumHunter! I have a Costco membership - and I saw the yeast there last time - and yes - alot cheaper than what I get at Wal-Mart (and Wal-Mart's jar is about half the price of what grocery stores charge for the same thing).

I'll have to give it a try! :)

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
