Questions Aussies ask about dried sourdough starter

How long does dried sourdough starter last?

Kept sealed in a cool, dark cupboard, dried starter stays viable for many months and often well beyond. The sooner you activate it, the livelier it tends to be — but there's no frantic countdown.

How long does it take to reactivate?

Most people see bubbles within a couple of days and have a vigorous, bake-ready starter within a few days to a week, just by following the feeding schedule we send with every order.

Is dried starter as good as a wet one?

Absolutely. Drying simply puts the microbes to sleep; once rehydrated and fed, they're the same robust culture. And unlike a wet starter, dried flakes sail through international postage without breaking a sweat.
