True True, Canned …
True True, Canned good and other random pantry foods will always be eaten first. Theres always backyard squirrels i suppose
You mentioned ” …
You mentioned “canned goods” also, which is why I replied. Good luck.
Yes, like when i …
Yes, like when i said cases of MRE’s…
It might seem …
It might seem easier now, but in 5 years when some of those wet packed cans have to be thrown out, it won’t be easy then. 99% of folks do not rotate like they should and will have waste with using wet packed cans. With dehydrated your paying LESS (your not buying water weight) and the product stores for DECADES as we prove here. For most people who will not rotate correctly, this is the best option.

I found it easier to stock up on canned goods and many many cases of MRE’s
Yes their will be …
Yes their will be some dust and chaff, that’s totally normal. You could freeze it. I would just pack it, double up on the absorbers and check it in six months. If their isn’t multitudes of visible bugs and you pack in a oxygen free environment, you should be alright. Next time, just pack sooner
It’s been in a …
It’s been in a humid area for 3 months. It’sonly 6 months old, I’ve found. Opened a BAG of hard white wheat, poured into a clean white bucket to another clean white bucket and found some chaff and minor amount of fine dust. It’s hard to believe there wouldn’t be any when fresh, but I know very little. Is there a method to save?–to KILL pests that might be there? Freezing for days? Sell it & replace? I’m a rookie. Did I hear one video say the bugs are probably there when you buy it? Thanks again
I would go through …
I would go through the grains very carefully and VERY SOON before summer heat gets much worse (not sure where you are at). Your call as to pitch or pack would be based on the condition of the grains. Grains that are being eaten will have a fine dust, almost like sawdust everywhere and you MAY see damage to the individual grains. YOUR CALL then to pitch or pack. If you decide to pack, use the methods we show here and think about checking them in six months.
Let’s assume a …
Let’s assume a person can’t back 8 months up, sooo, what if your wheat or rice is already 8 months old and not been packed? What would be the approach to safe storage in 7 mil bags with O2 absorbers? Won’t the absorbers kill any bugs?
Thanks,
Pack it sooner, …
Pack it sooner, don’t let it sit around for months before packing if at all possible. In some areas of the country you will get bugs in it fairly quick.
No professional …
No professional packing house uses DE, that ought to tell us something. Folks USED TO think DDT was good for their gardens also….. Never heard the claim that DE “acts as a desiccant”, that’s interesting. So what does it do with the moisture it absorbs?
What if your wheat …
What if your wheat and rice is 8 months old without packing? And what if your bags are 7 mils ? Too thick? What’s the approach? Thanks,
Yes it has been …
Yes it has been researched. Yes it is a inhalation hazard(simple google search shows that for both pool grade and food grade DE ) YES, None of the major LTS food processing plants use DE in their “super pails” or #10 cans for LTS.
So, people can pack like the major food packers or go with questionable means . If you personally feel safe using FOOD GRADE DE, then by all means do so. Some people like to freeze their grains before storage, it’s not wrong but i dont advise to do it.

People eat food …
People eat food diatomaceous earth on a daily basis for it’s health benefits. We have used several bags of food grade DE in our long term food storage form different companies and no where do they warn of inhaling the dust. DE acts as a desiccant, removing moisture form the packed food as well as natural insect control. Have you researched DE before you made these comments?
thanks much …

i get my bags from usa emergency storage can u refer a better place to order and thanks a bunch
Use better bags or …
Use better bags or leave the absorbers out. Don’t expect good results from the flour. I’ve pitched hundreds of lbs. of it over the years due to bugs. It seems to come from the factory with them….
