Can you store dry yeast in the freezer?

Newly purchased yeast (with good purchase-by date), can be stored in a cool location (pantry or cabinet), refrigerated, or frozen for up to two years. Once the yeast is opened, it's best kept in the refrigerator to use within four months, and six months \u2013 if kept in the freezer.

Freezing keeps the yeast in a dormant stage so that it remains active when you need to use it. Freezing will not kill the active ingredient. You can pop it in the freezer in its original packaging if still unopened.

How do you store freeze dried yeast?

Stored in the freezer, our dry yeast will keep for months past that expiration date. Far from hurting the little yeast cells, freezing puts them in a state of suspension. Keep them in an airtight container where they are protected from oxygen and humidity. The glass jar the yeast comes in is usually just fine.
