Tips on Whole Wheat

From Charity James:

Wheat flour literally has over 100 more nutrients than white flour, along with the benefits of fiber. Substitute ¾ c. wheat flour for 1 c. white flour in your favorite recipes. Red wheat = most nutritious, stores the longest, great for breakfast cereals. Hard white wheat= lighter breads & desserts. Pastry wheat/soft white wheat = even lighter.
Store red wheat sealed in buckets or #10 cans for 20+ years (store under beds) & use some regularly out of a sack to save $ on packaging. The LDS cannery, Honeyville, & Walton Feed are good places to buy wheat. Honeyville sells fresh ground 25 lb sacks of wheat flour which should be stored in a refrigerator or freezer. I use Costco salad containers. Split a bag with a friend or 2 if cold space is limited.
