Dale, if you can find Red Star "quick rise" yeast at the grocery store, this is very similar to the SAF red instant yeast. Don't confuse this with "rapid rise" yeast, which we've found tends to give you one good rise, but loses rising power over time. Judging by the comments made by other bakers to this post, it might be worth your while to test your old yeast that you've stored in the freezer. Here's how to test your yeast. And I will definitely pass on your request to supply nutritional information for our recipes. In the meantime, here's a website we often recommend for calculating this information yourself. Barb@KAF
