Checking Wheat Berries After 5 Years of Storage

- Opened a mylar bag of wheat berries we put up in 2017 to see how they are holding up. Would hate to get to a point of needing them and finding out I did this all wrong. They turned out fine- looked and smelled as fresh as the day they were delivered. Watch for my video on how I stored them.

Excellent
Archaeologists found wheat in Egypt from the time of Joseph and they made bread out of it and it was perfect and delicious.
I heard that they grew the wheat berries that they sprouted.
From the time and tomb of King Tutankhamun, yes.
@@jonothandoeser Tutankhamun was 1333 BCE and Joseph was 750 BCE
@@oceans6195 Yes exactly! Even before the time of Joseph!
@@jonothandoeser that's really amazing isn't it?
I never even considered using a blender for my wheat berries. Always used my grinder. Awesome. Thank you.
It is a Vitamix with a different container for dry. I don't know if other brands work but it would be worth a try. Good luck
@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 I use my Oster food processor, (the one on your shelf behind the Vitamix) with brown rice. Vita mix has a stronger motor, .. but, the Oster serves adequately.
@@pnwoods What I like about the Oster is I can take it apart and put it in the dishwasher, not so with the vitamix. Good to know about the rice though. I use a fair amount of white rice flour. Are you a lefty?
They looked the same as they did 5 years ago!
Anyone left handed is worth an automatic subscription!
Interesting music playlist you have. Did you watch The Wire on HBO? Tom Waits did the opening song on it.
The real test sprout it.
Very nice,Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Have you watched my other videos?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
That worked so well. I hope to get wheat berries. Blessings to you from Portland, Oregon.
Hey Portland! It's so little work with so much reward. Glad you enjoyed and hope you continue to enjoy my videos.
You have such an amazing resource near you for wheat berries at Azure Standard !!
Thanks Mam...
Hey! Granny you have to curtail those wheat berries from bouncing all over otherwise you will just feed unwanted vermin.
Hello!
So just stored in the barn... unheated/cooled?
I need more space beyond my basement and have a nice, enclosed pole barn but not insulated!
Thanks!
That's right. In the thumb in Michigan. Sometimes we get over 100 degrees in summer and 10 below in the winter,
@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 Awesome! Thank you!
Looks great! But want to say you can store them without mylar bags also just put a few bay leaves about every 4 or 5 in and they will be fine works good for all dry Staples
Thanks, I heard that recently and plan on using them,
Bay leaves do not work. It is a hard lesson.
Is your wheat straight from the field? Did you prep the wheat in any special way? How was it cleaned to package it for storage? I'm new to storage of grains.
Bought from Honeyville.
If you get it from anywhere but a sterile sealed bucket make sure you freeze it for at least a week to kill anything living in it.
A Hand grinder is also good at doing this, Can't compare being I don't have both
How hot does your barn get?
Thanks
Now what have you done with those 5 year old wheat berries after you opened the packet?
Was there a meal with wheatberries every day now? Or did you try to vacuum seal the mylar bag again for another test in five years?
And how many portions does the blender manage before it goes up in smoke?
We put oxygen absorbers back in the bag and put the bag back in the bucket and put it back in the barn. I made muffins and bread with what I ground that day. I paid a good price for the Vita Mix and don't expect it to burn up. I'm just glad I bought it when I did, because now they run about $600.00.
I have had my vita mix about 15 years. I love it
I find it weard you have jiffy mix that stuff gets bugs so fast and just thrown there on shelf
It doesn't hurt to have it handy for when I'm in a hurry and I like corn bread. I don't prep with commercial mixes because of cost and baking soda and baking powder have a short life, Thanks for your interest. I hope you enjoy gardening videos because they are next.
Mix jiffy mix with a little baking soda and sugar. Set out dry to kill mice and roaches. They can't digest the soda.
@@cynthiakeller5954 Thanks, that's good to know and I'll try it.
@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 It's not a poison so when the pest die, if there are other critters eating the dead pest they won't be poisoned.
The pest can't fart out the soda and they just get bloated and die. A dead mouse or roach or whatever will go quickly around my chickens, lol!
@@cynthiakeller5954 This good to know. I've been paying a high price for Top Cat rodent killer because then dead rats won't kill my cats. Thanks!
Careful not to warm up the wheat because then you will kill off the yeast in it.
Oh geez this stuff lasts like 50 plus years of stores right ha
How will it grow?
I don't know. I didn't buy it to grow, I bought it to grind and make flour. I live in farm country so I hope If need be, I could find wheat berries. Time and energy will be limited, if the fan is hit, I would plant field corn in one of my fields. Just would have to make sure the seed is not GMO. Old fashioned seed is availaqble and if I start to worry big time I will order 100 pounds of seed corn. It will feed the chickens, pigs , worms and make corn meal

Where did you buy your wheat berries?
We bought them from Honeyville. On line
I went to the local grain elevator where they were selling them for $400 a ton. I managed to get half a ton.
@@daval5563 Good for you
Do you always start Thr grinder with the lid off? Lol
Lookin Good, lookin Good Momma Pepper!!
It's been awhile since I used it or I wanted you to see how it works. Your choice. After supper I'm using that flour to make pumpkin muffins
@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 Pumpkin Muffins!!! my favorite.
Well, the Wheat/ Flour was still good, however what this lady should have is a manual Grinder...more then likely there will no longer be Electricity.
I have a backup hand grinder but I plan on having electricity via solar panels, Easier to cook bread with electricity, too. I have a lot of hand tools, like old drills, saws, etc. I plan on doing a video on them one day, but as you can see, I'm inconsistent on posting.. Thank you for the comment, all are welcome.
Oh my gosh yall I have just been doing a lot of research on which plastic buckets are safe to store food in and I found a website that tells you what all the numbers mean and which ones are safe. And guess what? LIES!! The blue plastic buckets and lids they sell for cheap at Lowe’s has the same numbers as the ones that are more expensive for food grade!😱😱😱😱. I’m gob smacked!. The white one is labeled for food grade and the blue one doesn’t say anything but it’s right there on the bucket! That’s three extra dollars per bucket a difference.
And since they are lined with mylar bags, even less the difference.
Go to a bakery or big name store with a bakery and get the frosting buckets . I get them for free.
I work at a supermarket I asked the girls in the bakery for buckets they gave Me about 20 lol they have no problem giving them out they say customers ask all the time. And lids too the good buckets the ones ya want
@@hmartin751 But those don't come with Gamma Lids!
@@jonothandoeser they don't have to be Gama lids they have the seal in them and with the myler bags and o2 absorbers u don't need em
Omg... my ears
What kind of grinder is that??
Looks like a Vitamix
@@rissa_creates6585 Thank you!!
It is a Vitamix with a plastic container that came with it for dry goods. Vitamix Professional Series 750. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I don't get a lot of comments
@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 Thank you so much for the information. Have a great day!
It is a Vitamix
