Excellent suggestion, and I am a big believer in almost never throwing away food anyway, assuming that it can be shoved deeper into what I call “Stalingrad rations” storage.
That means the too dried and old rice or the too old beans, or mushy canned goods, or wheat, or whatever is old and not suitable for normal kitchen use anymore, but if you were starving, then they would be a great food source.
