If you buy pasta and noodles that are in boxes ALWAYS remove the items to airtight containers out of the boxes. WHY? Moths are attracted to the glue used to seal the box. They lay eggs which hatch and fall into the pasta. I also place a bay leaf on top of the container to prevent any other bugs being attracted to my goods

When using OLD beans, add 1tsp of baking soda per cup of beans to cooking water. It softens them right up!

It will not work for all old beans, there comes a point that they can get so old that nothing will soften them up.

In reference to the Italian products ie pasta. My daughter recently completed chemo treatments for breast cancer. The dietary counselor stressed, to her, the importance of using only pasta made in Italy...never any USA pasta products. Also she stressed using only organic oats as the non-organic ones have large amounts of Roundup type chemicals residue. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with us.

The brake bleeder just blew my friggin mind! Thanks for sharing so much good knowledge.

I am new to this. Was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. I have been learning about everything since. As I heal, I am putting more and more into affect. Just wanted you to know that I learn something from every one of your KZread videos. Thank you much.

I am SO glad you gave us the tip about using a cloth on top of powdery items! I was having the worst time trying to get a jar to seal and that made all the difference! I thought for sure I had a faulty lid attachment. I also used this method when I had a jar of beans that was only 1/2 full - I could NOT get that jar to seal for the life of me! I laid cheese cloth on top of the beans in the jar and - voila! - the jar sealed! Thank you so much for sharing all your tips with us!

Hey Heidi, I put my beans in the jar, put them in the oven at 200° for 30 min. When I bring 'em out, I put the lids and rings on right away. They usually seal, if not I vaccume seal as a back up. It kills any eggs and they're sealed. Great video!

Thanks for sharing! It's always great to store things for when bad times come.

Love this!!! Thank you!!! So glad I found you. You are so knowledgeable and informative ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for your tips. I enjoy the food for thought. Life hasn't gotten any less hectic but now that it's stationary it's easier to start implementing some of the tips that have been floating in the thoughts for awhile.

How great again! another wonderful storage video. Thank you Heidi! We like to store all grains

Thanks, Heidi! Such a wealth of information. I found you recently and look forward to all your videos.

Wow, you give so much helpful information!! Thank you. It is much appreciated.

You are such an inspiration to people with your videos. I’ve always prepped and I have learned so much from your channel. Keep them coming Heidi.

Always stocking up when we can. Thank you for the extra tips,

Brilliant video. I'm just about to sit down and write up my beg garden must haves. Beans will be in there.

Thank you, Heidi for mentioning the vacume sealing of powders. I was about to do Ceylon Cinnamon. I can't believe I saw that first.

Thank you so much for the comments on Azure Standard! I had not heard of them, but they do drop in my town and within the week by chance. Love your videos.

Thank you for sharing your tip on vacuum sealing powdery products.

glad to see you using the break bleeder again. just ordered one and the kit came with some pieces that I didn't recall you using. And yup my memory was correct. I have been trying to vacuum seal with my foodsaver and it's been tempermental. hmm i was vaccumsealing corn meal without putting a cloth in, never thought about that. thanks for that tip too!

this video has BUCKETS full of great information .. thank you Heidi for everything you teach me .... i hope people heed to your advice and start having a more abundant pantry for harder times ... unfortunately some have missed the boat this time around .. but will now have the information to move forward to food freedom

Hi Heidi thank you and God bless you and your family❤❤

here in germany i dont find vacuume sealed buckets so i store 25 kilo flour bags in vacuum bags, that are normally for clothes, and then in a big rainwatef drum to keep rodents out. its great for keeping things fresh and i leave it in the origional bag so less messy to pack!

I grow a short season flour corn called Montana Lavender Clay, it's softer and fluffier than thick shelled popcorn. You could plant it alongside the glass gem without crossing and it'd be easier on your grinder. I was cleaning up the last of my ripe, dry corn by the end of July in zone 6. It's as short as it's season, 2-4 feet, so don't try to put pole beans on them. I really do love that happy little hobbit corn though, it's nice.

I've watched this video several times but realized I didn't drop a comment. I like to make sure I comment since I know it helps creators. This is a really great and informative video. Thank you for it. I learned a lot and since I'm looking to buy more grains and grind them myself for our baking needs, I found this makes me feel far less intimidated. Right now we're still doing store bought flours but we really want to learn to make it ourselves and put away these hearty grains in our longterm storage. I have only 5 pounds of hard white wheat I've sealed in a mylar bag but really want to get more.

Early on I vacuum sealed yeast and the little balls got caught in the rubber grooves of the Foodsaver lid. Had to pick them out with a pin. Now I remember to put something in first.

What a wealth of information, think I’ll have to watch a few times. I came here looking for the best way to store hash brown potatoes.

Thanks for reminding me about old beans getting hard I just put some up for long term storage in one gallon airtight containers and I froze them that way first and didnt open them so they didnt absorb moisture 💖 I sprout all my beans before cooking dark red kidney for chili, black beans, pinto, lentils. Ive been planting some of the sprouts as well as sharing with the chickens. The chickens get sprouted or fermented (depending on if I drain the water off after soaking) wheat., millet and milo daily free choice and layer pellets. I tried growing fodder for them but they dont like it.

I was sooo happy 'very happy' to find out that our local Von's now sells an 'organic' brand name' yellow cornmeal that tastes as good as the old boxed none organic popular store brand that I used years ago for making my southern cornbread.

Grains were the first things I stored decades ago now. Keep them on a very slow rotation in regular use. I have an electric mill and it does hard and soft grains with no difference in grinding. It's a Whispermill. So it grinds in a different manner. I also use the hard and soft wheat in a different manner as you mentioned. Love my grains. Many blessings.

Newbie here. I am celiac. And I love your last little bit of a commentary on the gluten-free info. I had no idea if we did our own we might have a better chance. I always wondered what the difference was from years ago to now that made us this way. And that makes plenty sense. Thank you!!

I always love the information you give us. I bought a brake bleeder a while back because you showed us how to use it. It works great. Yes, beans get seriously hard. We bought a bulk lot of canned navy beans at an auction and had to grind them up to feed to our chickens because they just would not cook up to tender. Even grinding them was difficult. It was a bit like grinding rocks. I knew they were way past the expiration date, but I thought they would still be fine for consumption. I was very mistaken, but we didn't let them go completely to waste.

You are very kind for sharing your knowledge with us , we are facing some trying times , and it’s good to be prepared for the worse ,

You can also put the powdery stuff like flours in a brown paper lunch bag or baggie before putting in jars to vacuum seal. Just fold the top of the paper bag or baggie over and around and it prevents the ingredients from going into the sealer.

Oops, forgot. My favourite grains are the hard red, hard white, soft white, unbleached unenriched white flou r, rye, dent corn, popcorn , corn for tortillas, oats and quinoa. I know there's more... Love the rye when we got appetite fatigue from the wheat. Great job as usual on the videos. Many blessings to you and yours.

There are no bugs or any sign of sinkage. There are two draws with design front The other one I put small red beans in topped with several bay leaves. I'm sure they won't cook up good but there isn't any bugs or anything else creeping around. The top is even open with the draw storage in back. I'm convinced bay leaf keeps bugs away. Even the bay leafs are just as old :))

Not planned, but maybe some what of a blessing as I found some things I was going to buy like three bags of beans and dried pasta in freezer put there to rid any possible Critters before storing as well as farmers sausage and pepperoni. Also an omelet mix I had frozen for emergencies. So meals were different than planned. You are so right about preserving. I do it all the time. Little emergencies happen.

I was so excited to find it. I have a membership at Costco as well so I alternate depending on what I need. Some days I shop at both, which really tires me out and doesn’t help the bank account either. 😂 I just purchased a manual grain mill yesterday and a bucket of hard white wheat (after reading all the descriptions of what each grain is best suited for), so I’m glad to hear you describing those same things and knowing I made the right choice. I’m also so excited that I’ll be receiving your chamber in a few days so I can start using some of the odd jars I have been saving for vacuum sealing !!

Heidi, just found your website, thank you for your informative and interesting videos. On the topic of Costco. I live alone, and only shop there perhaps once every six weeks or so. My daughter has a Costco membership, and shares it with me, she doesn't want me to pay her for it, but it is easy for two people to share a membership. Recently, I also obtained a Costco Citi Bank credit card, and pay it off each month. It provides extended warranties for items bought at Costco, and also has a lot of other benefits. Not that I am in favour of credit cards, but this one seems to be worth it.

Such wonderful info dear friend, I wish I could afford a grain mill, just no way with my budget.

I have that in my long term storage, pass few months I purchased extra bags of cornmeal. We are doing well, as I begin prepping in 2013 and have quite a bit freeze dried #10 cans from Honeyville.

We have a local store that carries bulk grain, which I am thankful for because the nearest azure standard drop is almost 2 hrs away. Have you ever "dry canned" grains in the oven? My mother has been talking about it recently but I don't know of anyone personally who has done it.
