(BTW, the bread turned out SO good. I’ve never tasted bread that had the real wheat flavor. It really doesn’t need anything to enhance the flavor - but cinnamon and honey sound too good not to try this morning.)<<<
Once you have tasted the fresh grains, it is difficult to go back to the many years old supermarket ‘stuff’.
My brother works in a major companies food warehouse, his job is to keep the forklifts running.
There is a giant pallet of food, that has blocked his work area for 4 years, without being changed or replaced, so that should give one an idea of how it is on our shelves in the supermarket.
I got wonderful fresh grains, in the bags/bulk grains at:
The bags come direct from American grain producers and mills, in the original bags and you can see the difference.
Some of my 5 years old beans from there, are still not as ugly as what I buy in the local supermarkets here.
Yes, you will need to get up early, to catch those bees.
I bought some superpails packed for long term storage from Emergency Essentials. But...I don’t want to break into those to make bread for next week ;) I’ll look into Walton Feed to get just a bag for every day use. How long would wheat berries last in a bag? And do you put them in another container when you get them?
I just found out that Winco has some in their bulk section for $.87 a pound. I could do that as well. They may have been there a while...
