The reason we recommend you store wheat is because it stores for up to 30 years or more. Flour does not store for long periods of time but it's fine if you rotate it frequently. <BR/><BR/>You can store wheat flour for 1 to 3 months at room temperature; refrigerate whole wheat flour if you want to keep it longer<BR/><BR/>Storage Tip #1: For longer storage, whole wheat flour should be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag in the refrigerator or freezer. It will maintain good quality for about 6 months in the refrigerator and up to 12 months in the freezer. The ground wheat germ in whole wheat flour contains oil that can become rancid at room temperature. <BR/><BR/>Storage Tip #2: Generally, if measuring flour from refrigerated or frozen flour, allow your measured portion to come to room temperature before using it in baked goods. Remove the flour for your recipe a few hours before use, so it doesn't affect the action of other ingredients such as baking powder or yeast.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164897697588264512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678096563980664471.post-79925531677277455352009-01-08T11:55:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:55:00.000-05:00So in the storage recommendations it says to store...So in the storage recommendations it says to store wheat. And then all the recipes say to use whole wheat flour. I don't have a wheat grinder, nor to I have room to have one. So is it ok to purchase wheat flour as long as you store it appropriately?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
