What Food Should I Store? 

What food should I store?  Store food with great nutritional value and great taste.   Store food that is easily accessable to you.  Also, store food that does not require large amounts of space.   Thus, dehydrated food is an excellent choice.   Freeze dry dehydrated food is to be preferred because of the higher quality and  nutritional content.

I consider wheat the best grain to store because of it's nutritional value and ease of storage.   Wheat provides almost all the nutritional needs of a person.

Geri Guidetti writes the following in the excellent book, Living Well on Wheat :

   "Of the 44 known naturally occurring food nutrients essential to humans, only 4 are lacking or at very low levels in the whole wheat berry.  These four -- vitamins A, B12, and C, as well as the mineral, iodine -- must be obtained from other sources.   However, a typical analysis of the edible wheat grass of sprouted wheat shows that 3 servings of greens contain 91% of U.S. recommended daily intake (RDI) of Vitamin A (as beta-carotene), 53% of the RDI for Vitamin C and 50% of the RDI for Vitamin B12, so  three of those four deficiencies can be compensated for by sprouting the wheat to serve as fresh greens."
However, a person should, also, have some barley, rye, flax, rice and some of the other grains for variety.

Wheat and the various grains can be stored for long, long periods of time when properly packed.

My priority in foodstorage is, first Wheat sufficient to feed all members of one's family for a year if possible.

Then the next most important item to purchase is a hand grain grinder which is reasonable priced and will grind most grains.

We hand the "Little Ark Grinder" because it is both reasonable priced and will grind almost all grains.   It is also very durable and has a long history and track record.

   Grain Grinders - Best for the Least!
