I used Method pump dispensers for a few years, but while I loved the easy no-drip pump, the packaging seemed wasteful because the plastic was not recyclable in my area. The metal tin is cute, easy to open and use, but also completely recyclable. There is no noticeable fragrance, and while the package does not claim to be fragrance free, there does not appear to be any added fragrance on the ingredient list."
"I do have to admit that it didn't seem to work well for my husbands stinky pits in some of his workout shirts, but then again, neither did other detergents."
"This was listed on many cloth diapering sites as a safe and natural detergent that was approved to use with cloth diapers, and it works."
"I've got the front load washer, and our clothes smelled stinky after a while, even if they were clean."
"I don't want them smelling like fake perfumy, chemical crap that's in all the other detergents."
"Many of them didn't do a good job of removing odors, and they left my clothing feeling stiff and unclean. Nellie's is a fantastic natural laundry detergent option for several reasons. It doesn't have much of a scent, but it does a great job of removing odors and making your clothing feel fresh and soft."
"I love this for washing my cloth diapers."
"It seems go a long way, and assuming this product stays in production and available through Amazon Prime (a necessity since I live on a bridgeless island), this is all I'll ever buy again."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The difference between active dry yeast and instant yeast is the instant yeast has smaller particles that activate more quickly, and thus dough rises more rapidly, sometimes cutting rise times up to 50%. Refrigerated dough expect some of the rise to happen when the dough warms, so it's better to use active dry for them. Like active dry yeast, you proof it in water that's 110-115F. A packet of yeast is 0.25 ounces, so a pound is equal to 21 3-packet strips of yeast, saving you about 85% on your yeast costs. The two pound size costs 50% more than this one-pound size, so if you use a LOT of yeast, buy it instead. When using this yeast, measure out 2.25 teaspoons to replace one packet of yeast. If it's close, you can use extra yeast, but you need to order more yeast right away, because too much yeast gives dough an off taste. I have a Salvation Army store tablespoon I've dented up so it holds just that much, used only as my "yeast scoop", much like people have coffee scoops, Miralax measuring cups, measuring cups in the lids of their laundry detergent, etc. To use this yeast in a recipe that calls for cake yeast, you need to know what size cake is called for."
"After opening I placed half in the freezer in a zip lock bag and half in an air tight container in the refrigerator. I use it for no knead bread, pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, dinner roles, kaiser rolls, fougasse, ciabatta, bagels, babka, rye bread, sourdough bread, raisin bread, etc."
"I found out about it when telling a professional baker that i could never get my bread to rise and was tired of wasting all the ingredients on failures."
"love to bake and I always used the popular yeast that is sold in grocery stores that worked fine, but so many bakers I saw on youtube used this yeast and I wanted to try it out of curiosity."
"Good product."
"Make bread every other day and this is my go to yeast."
"Best breads I've baked, I baked with Saf."
"I love this yeast!"

"Hi, well I have been using mostly Bragg's yeast, small plastic spice type tall jar, just ran out, and while I love anything Bragg's, I do find this particular yeast flakes, large, flakes, very thin, lovely flavor, better taste, unique, and I am liking this much better. While I will still purchase anything Bragg's, for the nutritional yeast flakes, this larger size, came as shown, in a large plastic tub type jar, seems more tasty, and will last me quite a while."
"I often buy the Kal brand because it's good and economical, but Amazon didn't carry it and although I considered the Now Foods yeast, it's more like powder than flakes -- find for cooking, but not so great if you like eating it from the container with a spoon."

I read some cautions online to NOT eat the raw dough, as it could cause a lot of flatus, but others online reported no adverse effects. You'll be able to smell it somewhat in the raw dough, and as it bakes, but the smell will dissipate."
