QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you already have a Prepper Pantry? If so, what do you have stored up?
Yes! Grains, beans, canned meats and vegetables, canning supplies, medical items, cleaning supplies.
@@reallifehomemaking3679 That is wonderful! Cleaning supplies, too! How smart! Incredibly enough, I haven't really thought too much about actual cleaning supplies. I will be adding that to my list :-)
My first Azure order will be here this week. I got hard white and soft white wheat berries. I have never made my own flour so this should be interesting. Hope to learn tips and recipes here!
@@donnaparrish370 Yay! Welcome to the Freshly Milled Club :-) I'm here if you have any questions.
@@CajunMamma Sounds like you're doing great! My husband has made a rocket stove before but it's been awhile. It worked which was super cool.
And if all you have is vinegar and alcohol for cleaning, you're good. One of the biggest reasons to make sure things are clean are for sanitation reasons so no diseases are spread!
Oh good news my son is wanting to learn how to make bread he is 32 years old he told me he bought pans and yeast and his wife is from Puerto Rico so he wants to make a purto rican bread that they love he was so excited to learn this I was excited for him
You have a great show talking about the lord in a wonderful addition. Glad to see you put him no 1
Thank you for being so passion about grains and God!
I love the way you have brought God's word into the subject of food storage .
Thank you! The Lord should be in everything we do! Colossians 3:17.
Thank you so much!! The information that you share was so helpful, then to hear the Gift of Salvation presented is the icing on the cinnamon rolls!
You are so welcome!
I really loved this. These are so many of the things I have mulled over in the demonization of wheat. It is fashionable to not eat grain now. I love the biblical applications and recently wondered about Joseph's family giving gifts of nuts to Pharaoh because they needed grain. Thank you!
Amen! I know I’m late to this video (I’m new here) but I love how you put the gospel in there for everyone! Jesus is the bread of life and only He can save us from an eternity in hell! Anyway, I’m definitely a subscriber now and I’m currently binge watching your videos to learn all I can. I’m saving up now to get a grain mill. I’m planning to get the kitchenaid attachment from mockmill to save space and money cuz wow, they are expensive lol. I got a bread maker and started researching recipes and found you (I think it was the Lord’s doing) and now wanna do even better and have fresh grains to use in my bread maker to feed my family! Please keep up the good work and know that new people are still coming in and learning and growing and not just physically, but helping people to grow spiritually as well. Learning this just shows me even more how wonderful and magnificent and beautiful our God really is!
YAY!! New subscriber. Thanks so much for being here!
@@GrainsandGrit thank you! 😊
Your voice is heavenly. Thank you so much. For your videos. God bless you!
Aww thanks!
You have such a wonderful smile, your lively attitude reminds me of my late sister ❤️, thank you for this information
Aw, thank-you!
We are actually going to be baking bread tomorrow evening at a first holy communion retreat. Everyone knows about God providing Manna, but I never considered linking the story of Joseph and relating it back to how the whole wheat berries are so vital for survival!!! Gives new meaning to GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD!!
And yes, eventually I WILL have a prepper pantry. I’ve got work to do!
You can do it!!
Wow super good points! And about Joseph! Thanks for your informations! And God bless you, you too Felicia ...
Yes I know about hurricanes to I'm in live around Biloxi Mississippi
The reason I store grains is if grains become gmo in the future we can’t rule it out completely, unfortunately
They're certainly trying to push it through, right?
High amts of vit. C can be gotten from rosehip or spruce buds tea
This is so Encouraging. Thank you for your post.
So glad!
I understand that you also need to put them in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers so they are protected.
Not necessarily. I've done videos on storing grains. You'd be surprised how easy it is.
Bless your heart sister! I'm so thankful I found your channel. I have already learned so much I never knew about grains. I just shared your amazing teaching from God's Word with my boys. I am placing my first order of berries and can't wait to start on this journey of learning and using grains in our everyday life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the gospel! God bless you and your family!
I'm thrilled to have you here and even more thrilled for you to start your whole grain journey! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
If you are out on the sea how do you sprout the grains? Water goes bad when stored on voyages. This is why alcoholic drinks were essential on ships, to add to the water to prevent water spoilage. Did they use their precious water supply?
No need to sprout when unsprouted is perfectly nutritious and stores great.
I love what you said at the end. omg i so love you!
Where have you been all my life?! Lol. You are awesome. Thank you so much.
Lol glad to have you here!!!!
It’s great to have stored grains.
Could you please give us some ideas if a disaster hits and we can’t grind the grains nor bake the bread because the appliances work with electricity so the oven?
Thank you.
I actually created an entire video training course just for that! It goes through everything from how to store grains, what mills to get for a rid-down scenario, delicious recipes, and more. Here's a preview: ruclips.net/video/ikApJNfV5a8/видео.html
Where can I find your instructions for how to safely store wheat berries? Thanks in advance
Thanks for commenting! I actually did a video all about storing grains. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/cKWXYSNoQ_Y/видео.html
I have been keeping my dry beans in one gallon pickle jars for years. I still have one jar of red kidney beans that I filled in 2011. They are still beautiful
Yep, me too!
I am so blessed to listen to you. I moved from Tampa Bay to north Georgia a year ago. I do store grains and make bread. Yes Jesus is the bread of life. Thank you for what you are doing. God bless you.
Thank you so much! Being in North Georgia, you're probably close to The Bread Beckers! :-)
@@GrainsandGrit I am about 10 miles from Bread Beckers! Even in the same county.
@@barbarawilliams979 Ah Yes, I think you have told me that before. Lucky! One day I will have to make a trip up there to see them.
If you plan to come up here, let me know and maybe we can get together.
How to bake without electricity or backup power? Homemade mason oven heated by fire?
That could work. Or I would stick with flat breads and cook them in a cast iron over an open flame 😄 Pioneers used to bake bread in Dutch ovens set in the fire as well. You could also use a grill!
Muscle meat no on the nutrients , but organ meats do ! Liver so so rich in true vitamin A, beta carotene isn’t in the right form for our bodies to absorb without enzymes (I think?). But liver contains so much bio available retinol. You might enjoy theWeston price foundation 😊❤️ but I appreciate the biblical aspect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I recently learned that Amaranth is a grain that is actually rich in lysine!
Unbelievable, I immediately looked this up and you are correct! It's the highest in lysine in the entire grain family. Second place goes to quinoa. I am adding amaranth to my Azure order as we speak!
Wow I am now fully diving in to research about this grain and I am AMAZED. I cannot believe I didn't know about this. I have heard of amaranth as a grain, but never looked in to it. Super excited to get my hands on it and experiment!
I cannot thank you enough for this information :-)
Great video and awesome points about being able to live on grains unlike other long term storage foods
Also thank you for the Bible reference. Great insight! 😊
My dear lady,
this has been such a wonderful lesson. I had a sudden realization. It is so simple. Thank you.
Nailed it with this video and I love that you ended on a spiritual note! Some content ideas:
-A Beans Series (ways you use them for the fam, their health properties/differences) I see you have a beans video, I guess I know what I'm watching next haha. May be answering these questions.
-How to store the bread you make (on the counter, bags, fridge?) Storing extra flour?
-A health comparison between fake bread & milled bread or the flours
-Books you recommend
That's the things off the top of my head. Thank you for your content! I'm learning so much and am excited to give milling bread a try.
Thanks for the suggestions! I clearly am going to have to do a video about books because I get asked about it quite frequently!
I have been milling since 1975 🤣. I am on my 3rd electric mill, the Wondermill this time around. For Mother’s Day I got the darling little red Jr. and love it! I adore your RUclips videos, you are great to listen to and I learn soo much. Thank you!
That is awesome! Thanks!
You are seriously awesome. It’s not just the way you deliver the topic. You have a kind demeanor. Found the channel while looking up a good hand mil. Thank you for making the choice to post to this channel.
Thank you so much 😊
I love this video!! and your channel. I’m Subscribing right now!!
Thanks for subbing!
I am so glad we found your site, and even more because of your strong stand as a bible believing christian! PTL . thanks so much for the info & videoes, may the Lord protect, strengthen and prosper your family.
Thank you so much for those kind words! Glad to have you here!
This is amazing! Glad I found this channel. New subbie! Just starting this journey. Ordered a mockmill and 2 hard and 2 soft white berries. On back order but hope to get them next month. I'll then be stalking this channel for information!
lol WELCOME! And I'm so excited for you to be starting your milling journey!
Amen sister thank you for all you do! Love it! 🥰
I just found your channel. Thank you, Sister! The story of Joseph is one of my favorites in The Holy Bible ❤️🙏🏻✝️🌾
It's one of our favorites too!
You are doing such a wonderful service for God's people! Thank you. I love your videos and all the information you are bringing us. I have been grinding my wheat berries for years now but now I know more about the 'WHY' this is so important. God meant for us to live with the preparedness mindset.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I do believe God expects us to do our due diligence to take care of our own family as well as loving our neighbors. I know he has promised to provide our needs, but he gave us brains as well to be "wise as serpents." :-)
"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest." Proverbs 6: 6-8
We have rice and beans stored in food grade buckets we bought at lowes. I haven't had any issue with them spoiling. We've had our stock for over a year and have only used a small portion.
I've never had any issues with my rice, only my corn after long term storage because I didn't freeze it. When it comes to food storage I am on Team Better Safe Than Sorry! So thrilled to hear y'all already have a bit of a stockpile!
Wow, this was so good and mind boggling. Thank you for sharing. I learned so much.
So glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the free grain calculator. On a whim, I bought a Wondermill from a friend but need to get some grains. Ordered a few weeks ago from Azure and it will be at my drop here in NC next week. I've yet to grind anything but my order which has to be finalized by Tuesday, 19th (tomorrow) is so far 50# of hard red and 50# of soft white and 5# of rye (yep, only 5#). I would like to have at the very least a year's worth. I plan to make my own breads, about 6 small loaves a month but want to branch out to cakes, biscuits, pastries, etc. and also sourdough just for kicks so I'm sure my output will increase because I will using my friends and family as guinea pigs for my judges. I'm a widow so it's just me but want to be able to share if need be. You said ask you anything, I think that was you, so here goes. Since I'm a beginner miller and we may not be able to get supplies in the near future, what should I add to my Azure order? Should I double up on the hard red and soft white and add some soft red because I like the blend of the hard and soft that you talked about to get fluffier bread. Should I add some other grains so I will be able to experiment some because I am very afraid that supplies will dry up quickly and this week may be my only chance to stock up for a year and I will be limited to what I have in my pantry for quite a while. I know, long question, but I really need some help here. Thanks. I have just found you and I'm looking at every one of your videos as quick as I can.
Wow! Great questions and so glad to have you here. There are certain staples I would stock up on - wheat (at the very least, hard red wheat and soft white wheat), oil for making bread and cooking with, salt for preservation as well as for making things taste good, honey for the sugar or a combination of honey and cane sugar, dried beans, yeast, oats, rice, and whole corn.
I also highly recommend stocking up on peanut butter WITH sugar in it for anyone with sugar issues (hypoglycemia, diabetes, etc). It’s a perfect food to help anyone who needs a boost of sugar without causing them to crash.
I know it seems like a lot but those are basics that if I had a lot on hand I could feed a lot of people well for awhile if I had enough. Plus these things don’t require refrigeration.
Bottom line: think about what you use the most and always keep a good supply of that.
@@GrainsandGrit Thanks for the quick response. Since I haven't actually milled my own flour yet, I'm afraid if I don't order big on the grains now that I may lose my chance to really stock up. I'll just have to use what I can get and make the most of it. I'm going to double my Azure order and that should give me enough wheatberries for a year, I think. I'm pretty good on the other things but do need to boost my supply of oil and yeast. Thanks for all your help.
@@vonlucy No problem! And do know that I recently saw an email or a blog post from Azure stating that they have taken preparations in regards to supply chain issues. They have really made sure they themselves are stocked up in order to meet the demand from customers. I know in the article, they stated they are at max capacity in many of their storage buildings!
Also, Azure are wheat farmers themselves. So in regards to the wheat there isn't a huge supply chain to worry about 😃
I’m so glad I found you channel! I have wheat berries in my cart at azure for a few weeks. I just couldn’t make myself hit the pay button. I thought I was obsessing about because I love bread, but I could justify spending that kind of money just because I love bread. Know that I know how good the berries are for you, I’m just going to do it
Do it!! And honestly, when you bake your own bread even with freshly milled grains, it still comes out cheaper than bread in the store. Plus it's WAY better!
Thank you… yes preparing for eternity is the ultimate💕
I live on a small farm in Iowa
I raise cows for meat and milk,pigs for meat, lamb an chickens for meat and eggs.
I garden and have fruit trees and bushes.
I can, dehydrate and freeze food.
I guess I'm a prepper🙂
I just bought a old Magic Mill stone grinder its probably 40 yrs old and works great.
Im having a lot of fun learning a new skill
That's awesome! You're way a head of the game and good for you for continuing to learn new skills!
Hey girl. I’m in Florida too. Are you in the panhandle because I’ve encountered those storms you mentioned too.
We wouldn’t consider ourselves prepper but we do try to be thinking ahead. I see wheat is becoming scarce. I think after this summer we may see a shortage with all those summer heat. Lots of crazy stuff happening globally right now. Thanks for the videos. I’m taking notes
I see a notification from you but can’t find the response from the notification on here. I’m still getting used to RUclips so I don’t know everything. Anyways. I thought you looked familiar. We may have went to school together. I’m 36 now so if your in the same age you and I might have gone to school together or met through the same folks. anyways. Thanks for the videos
I’m from south Florida here :)
I have some blue hopi corn 10 pounds to try should I freeze them I got them to make masa
If you want to store them for a while, I would freeze them to get rid of any weevils. Be sure to nixtamalize them: ruclips.net/video/JuNBEr6aDTc/видео.html
Love it sister, good stuff! Great job, great subject
I have my first 50 pounds of hard red wheat have had it for a few months Stull in the bags I just go me a bucket to pour 25 pounds in the other 25 should I put in mylar bags I want to get other grains to to experiment with
Got you covered: ruclips.net/video/cKWXYSNoQ_Y/видео.html
So glad I found your channel! I think I’ve found my sister!! We are on the same wavelength. You have a lot more knowledge though. I’m excited to learn from you!! (I just added 25lbs of Rye to my next Azure haul since it’s so good for sourdough.)
Hi five, grain sistah!!!!! Lol It’s become quite the passion of mine and I truly believe people need to know about it. So glad you are here!!!
I'm new at milling, haven't actually even used my mill because I didn't have any wheatberries but I have an Azure order to be delivered next week. I only had 5# of rye on that order to use as a starter for sourdough (something else I'm new at) and I have until tomorrow night to finish my Azure order. Looks like I'll be adding more rye to that order now. Thanks.
Glad I just found your channel. Great info - grains were next on my list.
Welcome! Glad you are here! I hope this channel is helpful on this journey 😃
This is why this year I'm. Buying grains instead of flour
Great goal to have!
New to all this, how do you sprout wheatberries?
Haven't done a video on that yet, but I plan to do one in the future for those interested :-) It's not hard, just time consuming!
I would be interested in how you would use/process wheat which has been soaked or sprouted.
On the video list! :-)
The big issue with the storing up grains is how do you grind it with a wonder mill? I am thinks about getting a manual mill for just a time like that. I have not canned much in several years but need to get back at it. I have also thought about getting a freeze dryer. My husband was the hunter and we always had meat. He passed away in December of 2020
Ps I have planted beans that where 7 years old and about 50% sprouted
First of all, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband so recently. I know that must feel like a part of you has died. I pray that the Lord gives you comfort and peace during this.
Secondly, to answer your questions, yes a manual grain mill is definitely great to have. I am on the lookout for one myself. Another option is making sure you have a generator you can plug your electric grain mill to.
That is awesome about your beans sprouting after 7 years! Not a bad sprout rate at all.
You are absolutely fabulous. Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Thanks for the compliment 😀 We actually have a well so water isn’t an issue for us. And I do plan on doing some Azure Standard hauls in the near future which is where I purchase most of my bulk items. I also have a full pantry list that list the quantities of items I need for at least a month. Before I do my big grocery trip I look over that list and buy what I need to always have at least a months worth of that item in stock at all times. I hope that makes sense. 😀
@@GrainsandGrit Better look into the government having "tagged" all the wells and springs. I used to know more about this but 10 years gone by plus my age I cannot remember many details, but at the time I was very angry because it appeared they may try to take over all the springs and wells that they know about. Not to make you paranoid -- just good to check up on this angle!
@@WholeBibleBelieverWoman I'm pretty sure permits are usually needed to dig a well, so it doesn't surprise me at all the government knows about them all.
@@GrainsandGrit I think you might be right about that!
I absolutely love that you brought the bible into this! I had never thought about the fact that they had food but they didn't have grains. I did not know that soaking grains brought out more nutrients either I just knew they were better for you, do you have a video on soaking grains?
Thank you so much! I do believe the Bible is applicable to ALL parts of our life, including food especially! Funny you asked about soaking grains because I JUST posted the video all about it. Spoiler alert: I do not believe we should be soaking our grains all the time, but there is a place for it :-) You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/iudxmqan2CI/видео.html
@@GrainsandGrit lol, I was binge watching your videos and the one about not soaking all the time popped up after this one. I do also believe that the bible is applicable in all parts of our lives we just need to do the searching to find the answers.
Odd question, but I rarely cook beans of any kind and when I do they come from a can, what all do you use your dried beans in? We ate lots of peas, string beans, or butter beans from the garden that my mom canned but she didn’t cook many dried beans so I guess I never think about them.
I actually LOVE butter beans (my recipe is quite hardy with some red pepper flakes) and homemade cornbread. That's the meal. It's so simple, yet so flavorful and delicious. I also love Great northern beans cooked with a ham hock, smoked pork necks, or bacon with homemade cornbread - delicious.
I also like beans and rice. You can do black beans and rice (a Cuban dish), also re-fried beans for Mexican food, black beans go great with fried eggs and salsa (Mexican dish)...bottom line, research Mexican and Cuban dishes for some excellent recipes using beans. They have perfected the bean.
Kidney or red beans are used in chili!
As far as using dried beans, it just takes some extra prep. Just soak them overnight or use the "quick soak" method on the package and then cook beans as usual.
This sounds like a great video idea. I will add it to the list :-)
Great video I too agree need to be stocking grains I my own flour for breads and bagels pancakes and they are so much better for you
Once you start milling your wheat to make bread, regular bread from the store seems bland many times. Glad to see another person stocking up on grains! :-)
Great info. I'm learning so much from your channel. I hate beets too, btw...LOL....Blessings!
lol glad to know I'm not alone!
Do you recommend the Nutrimill Harvest mill?
I do! I did a full unboxing and review when I got my Nancy Nutrimill :-) I am still using her on a regular basis. ruclips.net/video/yD-FrjsyHlM/видео.html
If I sprout the grain how do I use it?
I do not soak or sprout my grains. I have before, but I did a video all about why I don't do it and it also covers when you may want to sprout or soak your grains! Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/iudxmqan2CI/видео.html
One of my boys is allergic to wheat (not gluten... just wheat). What grain would you recommend as second most nutritious after wheat?
Spelt.
….a wonderful testimony to the greatness of our Great God…..
Amen!
@@GrainsandGrit enjoyed your video...very informative...keep up the good work.❤
@@psalmeightyfoureleven1863 Thank you!
Oh honey pickled beets are great
Christian love to you sister
Don’t you use Mylar and oxygen absorbers?
I do not. I did a video all about storing grains you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/cKWXYSNoQ_Y/видео.html
