It would be nice to have something left to survive on if all else gets used up, or plans go awry. I say put them away and don’t bother rotating them because one, they are expensive when packed for permanence, and two, who wants to adopt a permanent lifestyle of using many years old wheat and beans by rotating them?

We meet again. Maybe this time it will be more pleasant.

That's exactly what I do with my Superpails of wheatberries. They will out last me, most likely. So they are there in the event that I can no longer afford to buy flour or wheatberries. Instead, I've learned how to grind them and make bread and whatever else I want out of them, so that when the time comes, it's not all foreign and confusing. In fact, I now have a new hobby that my friends enjoy because they are getting lots of whole wheat bread, biscuits, pasta, etc., as I practice new recipes.

We have never met and I don’t know who you are, if that was a reference to some other thread on FR, please follow the rules and do not drag baggage around from one thread to another.

As far as wheat goes, it is definitely the thing to have in long term storage, and you are right about the daily uses for homemade bread and pancakes and such.

People should know that with an electric grinder, and a bread maker, making truly fresh bread is no more difficult than buying flour.

Grinding wheat is no different than grinding coffee beans for the morning coffee, and it serves the same purpose, a vastly improved flavor (not to mention nutrition).
