I got some extra flour. The bag has best by 2023. So not sure if its worth dry canning or waiting closer to that date. But what are your thoughts on dry canning? I never done this or seen it being done.
I think the term can be confusing if not defined.So...dry canning is a term used for either oven canning or seal saving in a jar? I already seal save in a jar, choc bits, beans, pasta, spices.
oven canning is not a guarantee to keep bugs out? So I can toss an o2 absorber in a jar with flour, put the lid on and it will store for how long?
I had never had a rodent problem until recently, and I am now being extra careful with how I store things. I just got another half dozen half gallon jars. I am going to put flour in them. No bugs, no rodents.
I have many buckets, cans, and jars. But yes, when I started getting careless, and restaurants in the area were closed, here they were. I also think bringing pots of mint into the house for over wintering helped. I know the mint would revive in the spring, but wanted it in the house. Neighbor told me he has mice now.Wife swares by Bay Leaves, she says it keeps the bugs out of things..... But it also pays to seal thing up and keep food storage areas clean.
I don't do seeds so can't help ya. flax meal I just vacuum seal because I put it in a lot of stuff.Which is better for flour storage, mylar with o2 or jars, seal saved?
WVDragon, how about seeds, pumpkin, flax etc seal saved?
