I ended up using my small manual jar sealer. I am not sure how long they will be shelf safe since I waited for over 24 hours for the jars to seal

Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful! 🥰

Thank you for your feedback. Have a great day! 🥰

Yes! I use both. 😊 The bags are certainly lighter and easier to store before packing. 😁

Yup! I typically freeze products if I can't get around to dry canning them right away. Thank you for sharing & watching. 😊

That sounds awesome!!! Thank you for watching. 🥰🥰

That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to trying it! 😊

We LOVE Azure! Been ordering from them for 8 years! 🥰

Thank you for watching! 😊 I've never timed it...but I'd say between 12-24 hrs more or less for them to be completely sealed. When I'm sleeping, I'll hear them pop overnight. It startled me the first time I heard it! 😆

@@littleladybugpatch ok thanks. The rice I did sealed right away and the beans didn't seal after an hour so I freaked out and put another 500cc oxygen absorber for a quart size ball jar. Lol. It's a learning process. Thanks for responding, blessings

@@jojogirl8202 you are welcome! 😊

Thank you for watching. This method will kill any aerobic bugs and aerobic bacteria. I've not had any issues with bugs yet in all of the approximately 10 years I've been doing this. 😉

My pleasure! Thank you for watching! 😊

Hello and thank you for watching! Lack of oxygen does kill most bugs that aggravate us by invading our food...but there are some organisims and bacteria that are anaerobic. I don't always freeze my grains before packing...but I do put them in the freezer just in case I can't get around to dry canning/packing them right away. 😊

Hello! Thank you for watching. Yes...things are crazy right now in every way. We have definitely been able to lean on our food storage during this ongoing and increasing scarcity of foods. We've started our garden again. We mainly buy from local farmers and our food co-op that I manage...we only do occasional shopping at the local grocery stores nowadays. 😊

@Iamlove Iampeace Thanks for watching! I've never tried it before, but I don't see why not since they are dry ingredients which I assume to be low moisture. I've dry canned seasonings and soup mixes with success. 😊

@Iamlove Iampeace I've read that too about brown rice...but we just ate some this past Sunday, July 10, that I've had canned that way for about 10 years. 😊

@Iamlove Iampeace my pleasure! 😊

Hello! Thank you for watching and sharing. Glad this was helpful for you. Just a heads up..they mainly cater to the Amish so are a bit "old school" in their ordering system. They don't do online orders like we are used to. You would need to call them and do the order over the phone. If you live far away and have to have it delivered, you'll need to give them a location that will support a semi-truck. Also, depending on the size you get, you may need a trailer or a uhaul and two people. My hubby and I got very lucky using our truck...but was a close call as we have an 8ft bed truck and the size we got was 15ft but we barely made it work. Thankfully, we only live about 3 miles from where we picked it up and no cops stopped us!! 😆 Hope it works out for you! It was well worth it for us!

Thank you for watching and sharing...I definitely would LOVE to do an outdoor bathtub...especially overlooking the pond. Hope to do so in the future. 🥰

Hello! Thank you for watching and reaching out. If I am unable to pack food long-term, I put it in the freezer until I can get to it later. Foods that can be frozen are grains like; rice, wheat, spelt, etc, and flours. I don't worry about freezing pasta, etc, just more-so the whole grains that still have the complete nutrients that bugs are most attracted to. Hope that helps! 😉

Hello and thanks for watching. Yes, I had to do it the 'old school way. I had to order by phone. They mainly cater to the Amish who mostly eschew internet and more modern technologies. But, it was well worth it. 😉

Hello and thank you for watching! :) This method does the same thing but with less time, energy and cost. This is the way almost all of the products purchased from the Home Storage Center are prepped for long-term. The only difference is they use metal cans instead of glass. A link is in the description for the Home Storage Center if you are interested. I still have a lot of stuff I purchased from them in 2012 that are "dry canned" but started doing my own to save money after the lady who volunteers at the storehouse told me about how to do this. There are many effective ways to store food long-term. This is just my preference...with Mylar bags coming in 2nd. Another consideration is...you can't heat up Mylar bags as you can with glass jars...but it is the Oxygen Absorbers that are key in using the glass jars or the Mylar bags. I'v e had no issues with any spoilage or bugs in all of the years I've been doing this. ;)

Amen to that! Thanks for watching! I was so thankful when the lady from the Mormon Home Storage Center shared that info with me!! Definitely a time saver and cost effective!

Thank you for sharing that info! I used something similar from Azure years ago but had stopped using it...I might need to look at it again. Thank you for watching! :)

You are welcome! Thank you for watching! I apologize for taking so long to reply. I somehow missed this comment.

Thank you for watching and for your feedback. 😊 I like the halves for roasting and the small bits for toppings. I have found after using it a few times, that, while it doesn't take long to Crack a lot nuts, it takes longer to separate the shells from the nuts. I ended up buying a soil sifter that has different size holes in each one to help speed up the process. www.amazon.com/gp/your-account/order-history/item/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_pop?ie=UTF8&gen=canonical&itemId=mnkmmqqnlmrsun&orderId=114-9082149-3741802&packageId=1&returnSummaryId=&returnUnitIndices=&returnUnitMappingId=&shipmentId=UW2c1GT0L

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. Are you able to share the link with me you are trying to access?

My pleasure! Thanks for watchng. :)

Amen to that! Thanks for watching! 😊

I am happy to help! The Azure gift cards never expire. 😉 I've used my Azure Cash to buy gift cards for others. You want to do a gift card order separate from your regular order and do it as Parcel Shipping not a drop. Now, if Azure is behind on fulfilling Parcel Orders, and if your Azure cash is about to expire, then there is a chance the Azure cash would be lost/expire before it ships out. I had ordered two gift cards recently and it took over a month for Azure to get to my order and ship them out to me. Azure Cash expires if customers don't order for 4 months or more. If you order regularly, you won't lose you Azure cash and can save it up like I do. 😁 Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

I am sorry to hear that. I am happy to try to troubleshoot with you. Here might be some things to check. *if the absorber is a defective one, it will be hardened and would need to be replaced with a new one. *it could also possibly be that the seal on the canning lid may be defective and might need to replace the lid. *may also be a sizing issue, i.e., the absorber not matching the size of the canning jar. If the jar is big, like a 1/2 gallon canning jar and a quart size absorber is being used, it likely won't seal. Hopefully some of those might help figure it out. Thank you for watching!😊

So cool! I totally wish I could sew! I'd make my own too! Thanks for watching!

Amen to that! Thanks for watching! 😊

Yes! We are totally enjoying our bargains from Naturally a Deal!!!! 😊😊😊😊 I am looking forward to more orders!

Thank you for watching. I'll do my best to answer your question and concern. Not everyone will have the freezer space to freeze large amounts of grains. I happen to have the extra space. I do freeze my grains if I can't get around to repackaging them in a short time frame. But I don't freeze all of my grains but that would be my ideal. But, big grain farms and warehouses don't freeze grains while being stored, most will keep the warehouse cool which helps with bug issues. If I wait too long to repackage them, they may hatch out buggers as not all insect eggs can be seen by the naked eye. The freezing cold inhibits and most times kills any bugs and most eggs. When I have frozen some grains and am ready to repackage into jars or mylar bags, I take my grains out of the freezer and let them get to room temperature. I sterilize my jars and lids in the dishwasher and let them dry. I then fill my jars up and pop in the O2 absorbers and quickly put on the canning lids. The O2 absorbers will seal the jars and also kill anything in the jar that survives on oxygen since the absorber absorbs the oxygen. So if there are any eggs that survived the freezing process, they will likely be killed at this point as long there is a good seal on the jar. Hope that helps. A great channel to check out that also goes into detail about the different options for storing grains is The Provident Prepper. 😊
