HOW TO STORE FLOUR PROPERLY/MYLAR/OXYGEN ABSORBERS  

Awe thank you..now I do get a little political at times so beware ..I do have Louisiana traits even though I live in the great state of Mississippi ❤️ And my mom's genes lol. Hope we never disappoint 💕🙏

Good morning 🌅 Thank you and you are so welcome. We can learn from each other..I love your RU-vid name❤️ take care as well friend 🌞

We love Tripping w Tiffany she brightens my day with her energetic approach to prepping. We are sooo happy to have you our new friend ❤️

Welcome 🌄 To the family!!🥰 Let me know if that works with the barrel curer...you can also try a clothing iron

Your welcome...I just find this a sure way to go for us..buying in bulk is expensive and making sure when we go to use product after being stored awhile, having it still usable and safe is important. Packing up some more flour today and I may video ❤️ Thank you for your support my friend 🌞🌞

@@Raffields777 trying to do what I can, trying to be more prepared with food with a failing economy and coming food shortages. Thanks again and may the Lord Jesus bless you.

@@texan4jesuschrist559 amen! God bless you. All you can do is what you can.. Trust the Lord will see us through 🌺💕

Welcome our new friend ❤️ Thank you for your kind comment🙏🥰

You can do both.. I store in mylar bags to grab as I need throughout the year and also buckets for longer storage use.❤️ Thank you ☺️

My faithful friend thank you. This is all of you making this info get out there. Much 💕 love

Good 🌅 morning Yes that's what I was telling our subs .can also use to grow..🌅💟

Hey friend🌅🥰🌞

Thank you friend 🙏❤️

Good morning neighbor ☀️ Yes I purchased these on Amazon. I will go and add in the description of that video of where I purchased them. I'm sorry about that I keep forgetting that people are not aware of where they can purchase things. I'm trying to get better ❤️ yes I woke up to SNOW too!! Crazy weather lol.. I am glad you found us and we are so happy to have you🙏

@@Raffields777 thank you so much. Been wondering how to store flour, meal etc. Now I know. Thank you so much for the info. Y'all are doing a great job. Looking forward to many more videos. And I'm so glad I found you. Take care.

Thank you for the encouraging words..we are so glad we have you.. strength in numbers 🙏

From what I hear be careful with the wheat flour..I believe the germ and bran is in the wheat. Which makes it not shelf stable for a long period of time 🌞 White flour has had the germ and bran removed for better shelf stable life.... research okay❤️ Your welcome my friend.🥰🌅🌞

@@Raffields777 I know as some wheat flour is graham instead of actually wheat. I gathered basic recipes that use flour, salt, oil and water to make grain products. Because of the few ingredients, I wanted to add some nutritional value so I decided on making blends. After I finish my blend packets, I am going to process the leftover unbleached white flour for long term food storage. I plan on being able to make grain products with the basics recipes quickly. If I could afford them I would have went with buying a grinder and buying bulk quantities of wheat berries. Since I am a poor woman I have to do the best that I can. As it gets warmer, I am going to work on sour dough starter. But for now it is going to be simple dough recipes with no leavening.

Awe your so precious... I am going to look at your channel . I want a grinder..and buy corn kernels so I can make my own cornmeal and I also am thinking of starting to grind my rice to make rice meal.

@@Raffields777 I do not have a channel. I cannot afford it. With a grinder, you can grind oatmeal into oat flour. You can also grind other foods into flour. There are many reasons a grinder is on my wish list.

Where are you from Holly if you don't mind me asking .if you have already told me, please forgive me for forgetting. Yes I saw about the oatmeal grinding...they have manual grinders as well as electric...these subjects always excites me because it goes deep into really being self-sufficient and being prepared making your own product from a grain or a seed and things also that can be found in your own backyard. I have a RU-vid email. raffieldsretreat@gmail.com Open to my RU-vid family.

Vicki I stopped for a bit today to grab. Cereal as a snack for mia but I am the same way..I still have all purpose in freezer I will be working on soon for inside kitchen pantry. I go through about a bag of flour every three months when it is just Leon and I.. when we get company for a week at a time we tend to make more biscuits and such but yes I almost have to store correctly..🥰

@@Raffields777 I told my fiancé about the bugs and eggs that can be in flour and he was in shock (me too 😂)I vaguely remember my Mother talking about bugs in the flour but had forgotten about it and just thought it was because she hadn’t sealed it up good . We don’t use it fast either so I will be packaging it in small quantities for biscuits,dumplings & pie crust ! Thanks for the info ! I am on it ! ❤️

Lol yes ...well guess what I was storing flour and didn't think about it either two years ago. My mother in law came and stayed with us for two weeks ..I leave the kitchen to her because she loves to take over in that area and I willing let her lol..she does all the cooking and making biscuits and such. Well all the flour I had stored, even what was on my counter had bugs in it..very small you really had to see it .I was so embarrassed!! She thought nothing of it and she showed me..she actually was gonna use it and I threw it all out even more stored and went and bought fresh and started to do research! That's how when I learned alot.. I will say this back in the ole days the older didn't think of that..they ate it and whatever was in it and if it ever came down to it in a hungry sense, crisis sense, I would too lol. But yes it happend to me..but hasn't since I have been storing it properly ❤️

@@Raffields777 😩 I have never bought it in a large quantity so I didn’t have it around long but I will now ! Thanks for informing us all !! ❤️

You are so welcome Vicki Callahan 🌞❤️🌞❤️🌞

May the Lord bless you as well🌄

Good morning. Yes pasta is well over a dollar here now .. There's so many products that can be packaged for a longer storage time.. Thank you for update..🌄🌞

Nice work. I was pricing 25 pound bags of wheat berries the other night and found already prepped 5 gallon buckets of wheat with Mylar and ox absorbers for only $10 more than the non sealed wheat berries. Seemed like a no brainer to me

shining star: if you have winco foods in your State then go there, they sell it, I saw it, on the bulk area.

Awesome!! I love hearing what works best for someone..awesome advice!!💯🌄

Wow okay ..yes great idea💯

Yes yes it is👍 Great job👍❤️

Yes I saw that process ..good idea and thank you for sharing🥰🌞🌅

If I put small amounts of flour in brown paper bags, can I then put those in 1 gallon Mylar with 400cc oxygen absorbers?

@@bevami1 I would not use oxygen absorbers, Just make sure you kill the bugs, because mylar bags will not kill them. There are many people that just put flour, beans, cornmeal, in mylar bags, with out killing them first, they will take over your food. Microwave will kill them.

@@sharonbice7490 thanks! Good to know!

@@sharonbice7490 how long in microwave?

I used the app KineMaster ..I have over Fifty I think intros so far..

Praise the Lord 🙏

Yes you can...💯💯💯

Yes you can freeze at any time☺️

Thank you good idea ..

Maggie I do both ways...in the five gallon bucket of mylars I have standing and laying down ..in the cabinet I have the standing with some laying in top of the standing . Just be sure is what I do to make sure they do not get punctured or the stacks are not to heavy.. I will see about making a video of some of the ways I store the ones not in five gallon buckets 🤗😊☺️

If I am storing for any length of time I personally do not trust the zipper only especially if I am using oxygen absorbers..if I am storing for short time I will skip the process of sealing...I seal under the zipper seal🌞

Can’t you seal above the zip lock?

Yes and below the ziplock is what I do for long term storage..for six month storage just seal above zip

Amen 💖

C Stone like five pound bags in mylar bag? Do you drop absorbers down inside

I have a video showing where I got them 😊 from Amazon..I try and always pic Amazons best. If it says amazons best I will check out reviews and even research on that product 🙏

For long term storage.. Usually when I open bag I pour into a container ready for use ..to me the zipper helps me push excess air out while in the process of storing for 6 months or longer☺️

I have a RU-vid friend who has used some that's 7 years old...I have had some up to a 1 and half years old old once I learned how to store properly . I will pull out and use in December..hope you stick with us for those product reviews💕🌞

70 degrees is perfect for food storage🌞

You have to let it dry out first 🤗

Ok that’s what I thought thank you 👍

@@joejoey6511 just a heads up, moisture and ox absorbers creates botulism. So yes, definitely let foods out of the freezer dry out before sealing

Amen!

Products do contain certain amounts. I would not use them in plain baking soda but I have plenty of product that contain baking soda packaged with absorbers and have had no explosions. I also have product stored in dark cool dry place. I don't store food products in garage where the temperature can rise and fall dramatically. With any (way) you store product please do your own research and store according to your environment, temperature and also the room you plan on stocking product in, doing what you feel confident through your research on how you should plan to package your product ...always being safe and looking out for and in the best interest of you and your family ❤️🙏

Can cause botulism as well. Do more research from other channels and the internet. Never go off what one person says.

Good morning 🌄 I briefly looked it up and seems they are made of a type of polyester..so maybe one could be allergic..I hope you haven't had a reaction and if so, I pray it's not serious . Blessings on this beautiful day out friend ❤️🎄

@@Raffields777 not sure as yet.

Okay ..please be careful..💏

@@Raffields777 I'm OK, thank you!

@@Raffields777 thank you for your concern 🤗🤗

Some of the comments have me laughing...just love having this RU-vid channel...🤧

Thank you for your comment They are always appreciated 💯 God bless you sweet friend 🙏
