I received this question from Brooke Scoville via email.

Hi there-
I have recently been reading the recipes on the Boise Foodie Blog and would like to try some of them. I noticed that they required “fresh yeast”. Do you know where I can buy fresh yeast in Boise?

Thank you,
Brooke

My response to her was,

Hi Brook,
“Fresh Yeast” is the same as Fleischman’s Active Dry or Red Star also makes some. Usually the yeast will come in a jar and should be refrigerated after opening. Watch the expiration date printed on the top. Albertsons or any of the major food stores will carry it. You can buy bulk at the Boise Coop. Hope this helps.
Cheers!

I suppose Winco, Fred Meyer and several others that I can not think of just now, carry the yeast. It’s a pretty basic product for baking. I hope this helps.
