Wheat Berries - Long Term Food Storage

[@g-whiz286]

25 lbs. of grain will fit in a 5 gallon bucket. When we get our grain, we use a 1 gallon jar as a measuring cup. The grain is transferred to a 1 gallon Mylar bag (10" x 14", 5 mil), toss in an 800cc oxygen absorber, squeeze as much air out as we can, and then heat seal. Don't forget to label with contents and date. The bags are then placed in a 5 gallon bucket only for rodent resistance and physical protection. Over time, the oxygen absorber collects the 21% oxygen left in the bag which makes it look like it was vacuum sealed. Then as grain is needed, we remove and open a single bag from the bucket to fill our 1 gallon jar that stays in the pantry. I've opened 14 year old bags that are as fresh as the day we packed them.

get a #40 sifter and make your own all purpose flour. We had been grinding our whole wheat flour and buying all purpose. We got the sifter from Breadtopia

[@sandraw4763]

When I first got my grain grinder, I purchased small 5-lb bags of several types (hard red, hard white, soft white) so I could learn how to use my grinder to get the correct consistency and also baked experimental loaves of bread for rise, taste, etc. I decided hard white was the best for me: long storage, bakes well with my recipe, but tastes & looks more like the store white my family grew up on. Then I purchased larger buckets for my long term storage :-)

[@teemom78]

So, the hard white will work for bread baking?? Will it work for sourdough bread?

[@sandraw4763]

@@teemom78 yep

[@dmorr86]

I also just use hard white for my bread. I feel like it is the most versatile if you don’t want several different types of wheat berries. I add 1 tablespoon of gluten (sometimes called gluten flour) to help with the rise. I also figure that I can sift out the bran if I want to use it as an all purpose flour for cakes, cookies, etc.

I use red, hard white and soft white. When you grind fresh flour you get all the real vitamins and minerals and man can you tell the difference in your skin and nails from eating fresh ground wheat germs. When I make bread my entire extended family raves. When I make pancakes and waffles from the soft white… also an extended family favorite. It’s doesn’t have that sour rancid flavor like store , stale ground wheat. One added bonus. You can sprout these grains from Palouse in hard times for nutritious sprouts if you have no access to fresh food in winter. High vitamin c in sprouts and so much more

Thx God my parents have a sence of humor. I tried my coffee grinder too but it got way to hot too fast and the amount of time and batch trying to grind with that thing would take all day and the time having to wait for it to cool off is really long. So ya no to coffee grinders or blenders. I know there is a blender I think called a vitamin that has a grain attachment but I don't have one so not sure if it works.

@@jungleprepper963 Barley is not wheat but is a delicious grain. I haven't tried the quick cook. The old-fashioned barley is 3 parts water to 1 part grain. It takes a while to cook but is so worth it. Butter, salt and pepper and am sure there are many other ways to eat it.

[@caroleparker1599]

I would add to also try the original wheat varieties, einkorn, spelt, kamut and faro. These wheat berries are a bit milder in taste and a little lower in protein. Personally I do not care for red or white wheat, it tends to get "grassy" over time. We prefer spelt for bread and einkorn for pie crust, muffins, biscuits etc. Just something else to try when you venture into whole grain baking.

RECIPE: wheat porridge 😋 this will stick to your ribs folks. Soak the desired amount of wheat kernels, or berries. ( same thing ) It will double in volume, keep the soaking water, adding some as needed. Both the soaking water and the cooking water will contain plenty of water soluble vitamins and minerals. Keep it and use it. Simmer on low until kernels break wide open. Stir now and then, to prevent burning on the bottom of the pot. Serve hot or cold, adding anything you love. YUMMY ❤ Any kind of milk Honey or demerara style sugar, ( the healthy kind because it still contains minerals and vitamins ) Chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, Banana slices, or chop some dry apricots into small pieces .

You can make great yeast bread with hard white wheat, it’s *slightly* lower in protein than hard red but it’s close! Soft, whether it’s white or red, is the really lower protein grain that you want for quick breads.

One thing that a lot of people don't know is that if you grind your own wheat it starts to go rancid within 24 hours so it is best to grind it as you need it or freeze what you have ground until use. Commercial white flour has much of the fat removed and replaced by preservatives so it doesn't need to be frozen except for whole wheat flour which is already rancid when you buy it.

Of course I purchased more of the advertised models of low to medium-high price range rather than in a high price range when available.

@ SUTTON DAZE You would prefer hard wheat varieties, there are several. Because of the higher protein content. Flavor wise my favorite is DURUM, a variety of hard wheat that pasta is made with. RECIPE: Wheat kernels make awesome porridge, that really does stick to your ribs. Simmer the kernels in sufficient water, until they burst open, keep an eye on the water level in your pot, and stir now and then. So when all kernels are burst open, it's ready. Serve with your favorite toppings, just like oatmeal. Honey or demerara style sugar, cinnamon, any kind of milk. YUMMY.

Soft white makes a wonderful hot cereal.I have always been into the taste of grains and it is delicious delicious. I have been eating hot cereal for supper for 3 nights now and enjoying myself very much!! :)

@@mamak4969 I was going to ask the same question

[@elizabethshaw734]

@@mamak4969 I soak how much I'm going to use overnight which I also do with oats. Then I add a pinch of salt and bring it to a boil. Then turn the heat down and make a little space with the lid of the pan and stir every now and then. You can measure one cup of the grain to 4 cups of water and it will give you enough for 2 or 3 breakfasts. I like to have some in the fridge to heat up. :). Hope this helps! :)

[@susananglin3868]

Sounds good! How long do you cook it?

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

@@elizabethshaw734 Can you do this with hard red wheat berries?

[@bargeiger50]

You can get a machine that you can roll your oat groats too. Makes the best old fashioned oats. My machine attaches to my kitchen aid mixer. You can get hand crank ones also.

Leisa, this has been such an informative video for me. I plan on getting into this more after we move to our new homestead. Thank you for explaining all this so well.

[@tinaedwards4650]

Thank you so much I have been researching and reseaching on this , this was so very heplful made it so easy to understand !

[@SuttonsDaze]

You've got this!

[@cyndia5864]

I tried a blender once it heated up so bad it was smoking thru it in the garbage after that. My Mennonite store will freshly ground flour for you which I do now. But I think in the long run a hand mill will be in my kitchen. Thanks for discussing the different types.

[@sjelani69]

Such a great tutorial. Thank you.

[@davekintz]

Thank-you, I've been looking for a comparison of the wheats for a while now.

[@sbrumfield95]

Thank you’ve I’ve always been so confused as to which one to buy. You’ve explained it the best

[@wheepingwillow24u17]

YOU are a wealth of information, please tell me if you have all that advice written out. I am disabled and limited on hand use, severest form of Rheumatoid arthritis and difficulty seeing this screen. thank you so much. I had bought a hand grinder because we may not have electricity.

[@SuttonsDaze]

I dont have a pdf for this video, sorry

[@Catemacho]

I think I've watched this four times already today. Great information 👍

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

Also read comments and replies. More information.

[@cathyann9728]

I have only tried red for bread and it is great! Have been using vitamix to mill which does a pretty good job, not wanting to invest in wondermill yet, next is to use a hand crank mill in case of lights out. Thank you for teaching

[@SuttonsDaze]

Good plan

A tip I heard when using a Vitamix is to freeze the berries you are going to use before grinding them. This helps keep your processed flour cooler, negating any nutrient damage caused by the heating of the berries with the Vitamix.

[@marysewitsky4823]

Thanks Leisa

[@hoovesandpaws]

We use hard white for our bread. Hard red and hard white mixed make a nice bread, too. We also use our wheats for hot cereal and salads as well as sprouts. Wheat is so versatile! Mixing the wheats is wonderful!

[@KatheeRN]

TY so much for doing this. I've been trying to learn but gosh U knocked it out of the park for me.

[@SuttonsDaze]

I'm glad it was helpful
