That is fine for right now but if we ever get to the point where we are growing most of our own food then deficiencies might become problematical. Note how many of those listed are especially necessary for healthy baby development.
A supply of a good supplement is a necessary part of prepping IMHO.
Currently we are trying to set up a mini farm where we grow everything we eat. Not as simple as it looks!
Today’s subject is about biscuits, which will evolve into being about soft wheat berries. There is a thread about southern biscuits, and why biscuits are a Southern Specialty and easier to make if you are in the south. Since the south is now my adopted area, I took notice of this. And especially since I love biscuits! And I have had a few good attempt at making them but it’s not as easy as it looks.

how to make biscuits
Should I go ahead and spoil the ending, for those that haven’t seen the thread yet? Well, don’t read any further if you want to head over to that other thread first. But I was very surprised, and excited, to find out the reason.
It ends up that soft wheat is grown in the south, hard wheat is grown in the plains states and up. And the secret to luscious biscuits is using soft wheat, not hard wheat. General AP flour is usually a combination of both, but they could lean on the hard side depending on the brand. I had been using AP flour with moderate results. But next time I head to the grocery store or Walmart, I’ll be picking up some Lily White.
But the reason I was most intrigued by this Revelation is that I have numerous super pails of soft wheat berries. When I was in a Brian spree. To get my food storage started, I had ordered several packages which included the soft wheat. I thought I would typically use more hard week, because I knew that that was used for bread, And I wasn’t envisioning myself making very many cakes. But just recently I’ve been reorganizing my food storage room, came across all these buckets of soft wheat and was thinking I should open one to experiment what to do with it. So This Thread about biscuits was very Timely!
Thank you met mom for the heads up on the biscuit thread, and for taking over for TIK in the prepper thread.
