Thanks** A: The one you purchased is specifically for sweet baked goods like sweet rolls and sweet breads. The red, which I have, is for breads/rolls that don't have as much sugar or other sweetener. (I use it specifically for egg challah, my recipe for which has 3 Tbsp. of sugar, so it does have some sweetening.) I think you can probably use the blue label Gold for less sweet goods without a problem.You might want to check with SAF there's an 800m number. SAF is the best yeast I've ever used. **Q: What is the difference between saf-instant and saf-instant premium?** A: Faster proofing with premium is the major difference.(15% to 30% faster) Proofs larger and allows for less yeast usage. **Q: What is the expiration date?** A: It depends on how it’s stored. I store in the freezer so it lasts indefinitely. Moisture is the main reason for a short shelf life. ## Frequently Bought Together - LeSaffre Saf-Instant Yeast, Red, 2 Pound - Anthony's Vital Wheat Gluten, 4 lb, Vegan, Non GMO, Keto Friendly, Low Carb - Scratch Premium Dough Conditioner - (2 LB) All Grain Bread Improver For Making Dough - Dough Enhancer for Bread to Improve Texture and Longer Lasting Bread --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1645337-saf-instant-yeast-red-2-pound](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1645337-saf-instant-yeast-red-2-pound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
