Description
Farmers regularly store wheat up to 13% moisture after it has been cooled. Our wheat is stored between 7%-12% moisture.
Wheat should be stored in a cool dark and dry environment. This can be accomplished, even in humid climates, by storing in an airtight or sealable container or bag and placing an O2 absorber in the packaging. Storing in the freezer will also insure great quality. The further you deviate from these recommendations, the shorter the shelf life of your wheat. For example, there are wheat varieties that have been discovered in recent years in Egyptian pyramids that were still viable. So, stored properly, it can last almost indefinitely without affecting the quality.
Be sure to store all grain products in a location where rodents or other little creatures cannot access them. If no location is available, replace the bags with buckets or other suitable containers.
Food grade buckets can be readily obtained, sometimes free of charge, but always inexpensively, from the bakery section of your local grocery store or supermarket.
Warning: Wheat kernels are very hard; use extreme caution if attempting to chew un-milled wheat.
