Ingredients: 100% whole grain hard white wheat. No preservative added.
Contains: Wheat
Shelf Life: Should be stored in a cool place of 60 degrees or less to achieve rated storage life. Warmer temperature will slightly decrease storage life.
Packaging: Food is packaged in a large mylar bag with oxygen absorbers inside a 5 gallon HDPE bucket with a gasketed lid.
Shipping to locations below 100 ft above sea level can cause the buckets to appear to be dented in the side do to higher atmospheric pressure at lower elevations. If this happens, remove lid and push out the dent in the bucket and replace lid. This will not reduce the shelf life of the food which is sealed in the inclosed mylar bag.
You’ve probably seen hard wheat in a list of things to get for long-term food storage. Most people typically use flour but don’t directly use hard white wheat berries on a regular basis in the kitchen. But whole ground flour does not store very long without going rancid, but the best way to make sure you will have wheat flour available to you when famines hit the US, because of drought or bad weather that ruins grain crops, is to have your own supply of whole grains. You can grind these grains to make the flour you need to make your own quick bread and yeast bread. When you are looking for a 5 gallon bucket of wheat to use as vegan prepper food, you will want to get yourself a good quality stone grain mill that you can use primarily as a hand crank mill but also with a battery powered drill so you can more quickly and easily grind grain while you have the option of using power.
1 loaf of whole wheat bread uses 4.5 cups of flour which weights 1.5 lb. So you can make 24 loaves of bread with this 36 lb bucket of wheat berries.
