*Wheat is categorized into several different types - Hard Red or Hard White are best for long term storage and for most peoples needs. The soft wheats are used in making pastries and crackers and are not as versital as the hard. So, we only store hard wheat and prefere the hard white.
*Wheat if stored properly can last 30 plus years. If you are using wheat that is over 20 years old it is best to add gluten flour to it when baking bread.
*Store in #10 cans, Mylar bags, buckets with mylar liners, EPEC bottles.
Store in a cool dry area, never store it directly on a concrete floor.
*Whole wheat flour goes rancid within 30 days of grinding. So be sure to only grind what you can use within a couple of weeks and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
-1 Cup of wheat grinds into approximately 2 cups of flour
-A #10 can of wheat holds around 13 cups and will produce more than 20 Cups of flour.
