I've stored cornmeal unsealed on a shelf for years and it's just fine. I have ground popcorn and it's fine, too. My favorite by is some sweet corn from the garden that was a little past prime–so I cooked it on the cob, cut it off, and put it in the dehydrator. I put small amounts of it in my spice grinder or larger amounts in my blender (too lazy to use the wheat grinder) and good golly Miss Molly! it gives the most wonderful flavor to cornbread!!! I'm in love with it. I'm goin got add dry-packed sweet corn to my storage for sure.

You can get dried corn, whole and cracked at feed stores…we pay about $7.00 for #50. ..it is the same quality, animal safe is people safe. You can also get it at WalMart. Our local carries it as Deer Corn.

Is it okay to put popcorn in #10 cans with oxygen absorbers? I'm wondering why it's not available at the cannery.

I just use popping corn. So you can find decent sized bags at grocery stores. You could also try some kind of food wholesaler or party store that would supply popcorn to people who run movie theaters. If you want to order online you can get a 50 lb bag of yellow dent corn for $38.99 with only $5 shipping from http://store.honeyvillegrain.com

I've been trying to find a place to buy the dried corn to grind myself but haven't had any luck. Do you have any suggestions on where to order it in bulk?
