@preservationhaven: STOCKING UP ON FLOUR? HERE’S WHAT I WISH I KNEW SOONER! 🌾🤍 Sweet friends, building and maintaining a well-stocked pantry is a learning experience, and sometimes we make mistakes along the way! Most of us who keep pantries are pretty frugal, and the last thing we want is to waste food or money. I’m sharing an area where I learned a valuable lesson: FLOUR! Over time, I’ve accumulated more varieties of flour than I actually need,this has led to me having to be very proactive in the present time of using what I have to prevent waste. Using what's in the pantry should never come under pressure as I have going on currently. If we are under pressure to use it up then it should be reassessed, which is where I'm at and sharing with you in real time. Every variety we bring into our pantry is another item we have to store, rotate, and manage. And unlike whole wheat berries, milled flour has a shorter shelf life and can eventually become rancid. I’ve learned that I don’t need all those different varieties! I really enjoy my all-purpose flour from Costco, and I’ve been happy with how well it stores under proper conditions. Sometimes simplicity is best. I’m also excited to share that in 2027, I’ll be beginning my journey of learning to mill my own wheat berries and make homemade bread! 🌾 I’ll be learning as I go, and I hope you’ll join me! One thing I’ve learned through the past few years of keeping a pantry is that we don’t always get everything right the first time. We learn, we make adjustments, and we figure out what works best for our households. I’m sharing my experience because maybe it will help my sweet friends to avoid making the same mistake🤍 A well-stocked pantry doesn’t have to include every variety of everything. Sometimes simplifying means less expense, and less to manage. Save this for later, hit all the buttons, and follow along for more home canning, pantry organization, food preservation, and our 2027 bread-making journey! 🤍🌿 #pantry #pantrygoals #pantryorganization #foodstorage #flour

You NEED TO FREEZE THE FLOUR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE VACUUM SEALING IN JARS TO KILL EGGS N MATTER THAN WILL ROT N HO RANCID. Freeze first and add YEARS to shelf life

I freeze my flour. I don’t really know the rules around that, but my Oma did it and it worked out ok for her.

I’m so glad that you reminded me of the flour I have some in some jars in my pantry that have been there a little over a year. It’s just all purpose flour. I actually forgot about it because I don’t use it that much anymore. I really should go check on it and try to use it up as quick as I can. Thanks for the reminder.
