    Not very long ago, I decided to try using some coarse stone-ground flour obtained from a local bulk foods store. So far, I have used it in johnny cakes, two kinds of Irish soda bread (traditional and sweet), unleavened flatbread, and possibly a couple other things I can't recall at the moment...

    Looks like Amazon got a (overpriced) supply of whole wheat flour. I've been to Kroger's and Walmart's in 3 states and can't find any whole wheat flour for 6 weeks now. Before all the CV mess, whole wheat flour was .60 to .80 cents a pound. Now it is going for $2 to $3 a pound on Amazon...

    A person can spend all day in the garage mylar-bagging flour and still not get it right. You start off with these nice stackable 25 lb sacks ($7.98 each)... 1. rip em open, try to dump them into the 6 gallon mylar, spill all over. 2.) try putting the mylar bags into 5 gallon buckets first...

    Hey guys. I'm obviously new here, but I've been researching long term food storage and am up to date on most of the basic techniques for doing so. I'm in the planning stages of getting my food ready. I have to acquire my buckets and pick and store the foods that I want to keep until I get...

    I'm interested in getting a hand grain mill and see that a bunch of people on here have the Wonder Mill Junior, which I am seriously considering. It seems very well built and a good value. But I'm having difficulty finding an answer for my question of how fine of flour it can output. I do not...

    I couldn't find an all-inclusive discussion on this forum (and I hope this is the correct location for the topic) reguarding wheat berries. Tastythreads’ thread, What's a good price to pay for wheat berries? got me thinking more about wheat berries. So, I started some research on the questions...

    Put up a few things in mylar zip bags today. First time I've used the zip locks. Be sure to get the "dust" from things like oatmeal from where you make your seal. Same with standard mylar.

    It's a real question...lol...not an April Fool's prank. I've got some flour in ten pound bags, want to open 'em up, put the flour in a mylar bag in a five gallon pail, O2 absorber, etc., etc. Just wondering about how many pounds of flour I can expect to get into that size container. Thanks...

    Hey all, I want to store some flour. Is there a certain kind better than others? It should all keep if it's vacuumed and an O2 absorber added right? Thanks!

    Has anyone tried to make cornbread out of items they easily store? Cornmeal, flour, powdered eggs, powdered milk? I usually use fresh buttermilk and fresh eggs and shortening. I need a alternate recipe.

    I just took an inventory of the food and water I have on hand right now. This does not include food in my everyday pantry, or the long term freeze dried foods I order last week. Here it is: Canned soup - 20 cans (individual size) Canned Chef Boyardee - 12 cans Canned Beans (assorted varieties...

    Greetings, I have a simple curiosity question. The White flour we buy, is it hard red wheat or hard white wheat? What about the brown flour, is it hard red or hard white? Just curious for those of you who know. Thank you

    So I know we miss alot of foods here especially native foods that have been long overlooked. It would be nice if we could have a thread where all of these foods are discussed in the thread. Please avoid any comments to this thread unless you are adding a different food or giving relevant...

    Next and Last Question for Today.... What are the advantages to getting bulk wheat versus getting bulk flour to store? I plan on the Mylar Bag / O2 absorbers and 5 Gallon Bucket method. I don't have a grinder/mill....yet.... If I get the grain, I have to grind everytime I want flour...

    I pretty much know that as far as rice and beans go I will store them 5 Gal pails and mylar bags. But I am not so sure this will work with wheat flour, salt and sugar. Any advice?

    I've got a love hate relationship with mesquite. I hate it, because it seems to take over the old fields I keep planning on plowing for deer food plots. But I love it, because it is supposed to be a healthy plant. Based on some back of the envelope calculations, I estimate I could probably pick...
