Hello neighbor. I live in Harrisonburg. Born and raised for generations back.
Back sometime ago I did some research into storing grains, beans etc.
I Learned that oxygen and moisture are the two killers. The oils make
them rancid in oxygen. I store mine long term using a food saver
vacuum sealing system (from Wal-Mart) about $100.00. I put in a
silica gel pack for remaining moisture and an oxygen absorber for
remaining oxygen. Same with vitamins. Anything that doesnt contain
oil I just use the silica gel in. There is some debate as to if
oxygen absorbers really work but they are cheap so I figure what the
heck. :-)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>I'm going to start grinding grains for bread and other
baking. I'll be purchasing Sunflower seeds, Flax Seeds, Spelt, wheat,
oats, etc. My question is how long can I store these. It is about a 2
hour drive to my favorite store in the Shenandoah Valley, so I would
like to buy as much as possible.
What would be the best way to store the grains? I have buckets that I
got from Kroger deli. Would these work?
Thanks
