Where do you buy bulk bakers yeast?

Post by As-Ol-Joe »

I have looked everywhere that I go and cannot find bakers yeast in a bulk package. Where are you folks getting it?

I don't know where you're at, but for example, in Springfield, MO, there is a Cash & Carry, which will carry bulk yeast.
Our local store, has 3 types of baker's yeast. Fleishmans, SAF, and Red Star. Red Star belongs to SAF, so I don't know the difference.
If you do a google search for your local area using "wholesale foods" or "bulk foods" as key words, you'll find a source.

Good Luck.

Find someone that works in a kitchen and ask them if they can order it for you. I just purchased 2lbs of Red Star bakers yeast for $4
