because it's been turned into flour, the storage time is greatly reduce because of high fat content, an 02 absorber won't prevent it from going bad. you can keep flour for a longer period of time by keeping it in the freezer. you'd be better off storing whole wheat and using a grinder when you're ready to use it.

    Grains

    Question 
    Where in Colorado can I find clean red winter wheat and/or clean field corn in bulk (up to 400 pounds of each) for human consumption? Been using feed store grains, but seeking cleaner supply.

    storing Foods in 5 gal buckets

    Discussion 
    Need help starting to store foods, I have 5 gallon buckets with oxygen absorbers, can I just throw uncooked foods like rice in these buckets and put the oxygen absorbers in there then seal the buckets? Or do I need to do another step?

    Opinions and ideas on barrels.

    Discussion 
    Which of those barrels would you use, as well as what would you use them for? All are food grade. The once with two white top lids do not seem to be very air tight, but have a metal clasp. The once without top lids have a plastic clasp. The oval brown/reddish once are air tight (used to contain olives and jalapenos in oil and vinegar) however, they are oval and bottom is harder to reach.
