Grain Storage: The Right And Inexpensive Way
Grain is an easy thing to store, believe it or not. Most folks feel a little intimidated, when they think about storing grain, so they don’t store much.I will give recipes, on how to use the different grains in a future article. Grain isn’t for just grinding! But those you do grind, are for more than bread! For now, I will deal with just the storage of grain.
Grain storage is not as daunting, as one might think. Over the years, I have come up with a couple of grain purchasing and storage solutions, that you may find helpful.
To get grain, I go to a local elevator. Yes. I know….You are thinking that is for animal feed.
Well…it is! But considering the grain is needed, for long-term survival, and for most of us, our pockets are not lined with gold, should we be picky? The grain you can get, from your local elevator, is meant for animal food, so there is nothing more harmful on the grain than dirt and pesticides.
Now I have you completely freaked out about pesticides! Don’t worry about it! Just stock up on hydrogen peroxide!
When you go to use the grains, just put 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of the pre wash water. Let a gallon of grain set in this water, for 10 minutes, and it completely neutralizes any chemical residue!If doing this for grains to grind, they will of course need to be dried first. This method of pre treating, before use, makes animal food grains perfectly safe for human consumption!
You don’t have to pre treat the grain to store it. It can be stored for years, before this pre treatment, so just stock up plenty of hydrogen peroxide, for your future needs. A Note on Hydrogen Peroxide: ‘They’ say, hydrogen peroxide only has a shelf life of about two years. I have had a bottle of it setting on the shelf for twenty years. I opened it up and it still went to town bubbling, killing the germs, just fine, in my grandson’s knee boo boo! (Now! Back to grain.)
