Today I am a grandmother and I still remember that my grandmother had no freezers but to store beans and not grow the larvae she would put pepper and bay leaves along with the beans and I don't remember seeing larvae in the beans she kept. When I buy beans from the farm and not from the stores, I still do the same and I can have the beans on the shelf, in jars for 3 or 4 years, I've never had problems and, to use them I wash the beans that are always perfect. What is admirable is how in the old days, people could find processes to solve problems, nowadays people want other people to solve their problems. Although not yet many, fortunately some young people are beginning to realize the importance of old knowledge.

I’m not sure if this works because I haven’t done it but I saw it on another KZbin channel......this gal said her grandma used to put broken pieces of china in her flour to keep bugs out and weevils from hatching. 🤷🏼♀️ This gal buys odd pieces of china at thrift stores, wraps them in an old towel, breaks into large chunks, smooths the edge with sandpaper, wash and dries good and then stores in her dry goods. AOG, have you heard of this ? I live in the north and it’s freezing cold outside shortly after harvest to I store stuff in the garage or outside but it has to be protected from other critters then ......everything wants our food 🤣

You can also dry can the peas to kill the Weevils. I pack then into pint jars, set them in a pan put into a 180 to 200 degree oven for 60 mins. I put the lids in a pan and place them into the oven for the last 15 mins. When they come out i put the lids on them and set aside. They will seal 😀Thanks Old Alabama hardener for sharing your knowledge.

I have been working out a treatment for atrial fibrillation through exercise, weight loss and control, lower carbohydrate consumption (less than 100 grams per day) and supplemental magnesium glycinate (200mg twice daily) and ensuring that I consume enough potassium and not too much calcium. I'm fairly tall at 6'2" and am maintaining 210 lbs. down from 265 lbs. at 63 y.o. I haven't gone full keto yet because I haven't found a ketone meter. Statins or lisinopril didn't set well with me.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with how you shell died black eyed peas. If, while still in your 5 gallon plastic bucket, you get a clean wood 2x4 and crush the peas, still in the shell, most of them will be shelled. That will save you a bunch of time however you will for sure have all of the "worm damaged" ones included. For me, when I add water to wash them prior to cooking, most - if not all, of the worm and weevil damaged peas will float to the top.

After you freeze them for a week or more, then do they go on the dry pantry shelf until used? Is darkness important?
@OldAlabamaGardener3 жыл бұрын
The freezing is to kill any weevil eggs that might be in the peas. After that I store them either in glass jars or Zip Loc bags. No, darkness is not important.

Do I need to rethink putting dried beans and grains in the freezer for only one week? Is a month better?

I think one week is good. I tend to over do it. Thanks you for watching my videos. Please subscribe. OAG

I was wondering if the peas could be put in the oven to kill any eggs and then in a jar. I don't have any freezer space.

@@OldAlabamaGardener you can heat them in the oven but I never will again. After heating you can't use them for seed, also heating also destroys a lot of the nutrients. Even though they were sealed after about 5 years the black beans were really tough when I tried to cook some. Just wouldn't cook done. I ended up throwing out a half gallon of black beans.

I promise my wife and I were just talking about you today as we picked a haul of black eyed peas today. Now once they've been in the freezer for a week or two can you leave them in the freezer? I've heard freezing without blanching can make them bitter.

I have not hear that freezing could make them bitter. I usually freeze them for a couple weeks and then remove them from the freezer. Thank you for watching my videos. Subscribe if you haven't already. OAG

Question after they've been frozen for 2 weeks or a month can they be taken out and re-dried and stored in bags for long term storage?

Hello and welcome to my videos. Yes, the Black Eyed peas, after being frozen to kill any insects and insect eggs, can be removed from the freezer and dried, then stored in bags or containers for long term storage. Please subscribe. Thanks for watching. OAG
