Are there any ideas of what you can do with yeast that has expired beyond the date?

Answer 1

Just because yeast package says it is expired does not mean that it is not any good. . .go to http://www.baking911.com/howto/yeast_proof.htm. The site will show you how to test the yeast to see if it is still any good.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is just throw out u don't no what kinds of BAT ERIS were formed from that kind of fungi. If it was mushrooms then throw it because it one of the most dangerous kind of yeast.

The yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in baking and fermenting alcoholic beverages for thousands of years. It is also extremely important as a model organism in modern cell biology research, and is the most thoroughly researched eukaryotic microorganism, which gathers information into the biology of the eukaryotic cell and ultimately human biology.Other species of yeast, such as Candida albicans, are opportunistic pathogens and can cause infection in humans. Yeasts have recently been used to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells, and produce ethanol for the biofuel industry.

Yeasts do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping. At present it is estimated that only 1% of all yeast species have been described. The term "yeast" is often taken as a synonym for S. cerevisiae,however the phylogenetic diversity of yeasts is shown by their placement in both divisions Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. The budding yeasts ("true yeasts") are classified in the order Saccharomycetales.

Hope it's the info u wanted!!!!

Yeast is pretty tough stuff and the expiration dates are not absolute. I would try to use it. Blooming your yeast before you use it is always a good idea anyway.. If it blooms use it ,if it doesn't toss it All you ultimatley wasted was a teaspoon or so of sugar and some warm water.

Answer 4

Yeast is a living organism and if it's well past the expiration date it's probably useless if you expect your bake goods to rise if you use it..

Answer 5

Most of the time you can still use it if it's not too far past the date; just use a bit more than you ordinarily would, to make up for lost potency. Ultimately, though, throw it out; if you have a septic tank, run it through the toilet to help the tank deal with waste.

Answer 6

I have kept dry yeast in the freezer and it is still good after 5 years. Just add warm milk with some sugar and see if it rises. If it does, use it, otherwise toss it.
