In the bags in a tupperware they should be fine for 9 months for sure. The airtight containers and oxygen absorbers are more for if you don't plan to use it or open it for 3-5 years or more.

When you say “if unopened, optimum shelf life is …”, does this count for the 25 lb wheat bags bought at the cannery? I use about 1 bag a month so am purchasing enough for the next 9 months before we move so need to know if I can just leave in the bags in a tupperward in the basement or should I transfer to a bucket with oxygen absorbers or how do you recommend I store these?

I love Quinoa as well !! It is great for all meals and comes in a white or red varieties. High in protein and fiber it is definitely a shelf staple -easy to prepare and transport- at home or on the trail. I just need to find it in a less expensive bulk form in my area.

Don't for get to check out Quinoa {keen wa} often called the superfood because it is loaded with Amino acids and proteins as well as almost every vit and mineral you can think of. Has a nutty flavor and can be eaten like oatmeal or added to scrambled eggs , salads, soups, or anywhere else you can imagine.I found it today in the health food section at hy vee so it is out there and easy to find. try it out!

If you explore our sister site http://thefoodstorageshopper.net she goes into a lot more detail on different sources for bulk grain purchases. We're a bit spoiled by living in Utah and haven't had a chance to delve into that topic as much as she has. Hope that helps!

Can you recommend some good sources for bulk grain purchases? I've had trouble finding a supplier where shipping doesn't double the cost!! Thanks!

I have learned an important lesson about rotating food storage. Items that don’t have a long shelf-life, such as flour or oil, should be rotated regularly. If you open one of these items when it is near the end of its shelf-life, it does not last in the cupboard very long before going rancid.

have you thought of storing quinoa? i heard somewhere that it is the only grain that is a complete protein. it is also very tasty.
