GUEST,Eater BS: What Survival foods? (110* d) RE: BS: Survival foods - suggestions? 23 Apr 07


I've looked into wheat. Feed wheat (not pesticide-treated seed wheat), but feed wheat at a feed store. Bought 50 pounds for $8.25. Now I'll test it.

Found the link below concerning basic recipes. How to boil it, fry it, sprout it, etc.:

This wheat can be sealed in large buckets and stored. One article recommended using diatameceous earth and bay leaves before sealing. Natural insecticides. The DE also acts as an absorbent.

So, my plan is to start cooking this stuff and incorporating it into our eating (one article says it's a big adjustment for the digestive system, so start using it gradually), and if it's a good food source, I'll research how long it can be stored, etc. and buy the buckets and store as much as will keep.

The SEED wheat is only available once a year around here, but FEED wheat is available year round. SEED is treated with pesticides. Feed wheat can be planted, too. One man at a feed store said about 70-80% of it would sprout.
