Wheat Berries' life
How long can wheat berries be stored? I was given a bagful that has been stored for 2+ years. Thanks!

Beware of weavils. pests hatch in humid warm temperatures, which leaves wheat prone to attack in a matter of a couple months. If stored properly, wheat can last for up to 2 years in cool dry temperatures. For best storage, pack them in freezer zippers and store them in your freezer/ refrigerator ,they'd keep indefinitely.

Under the right conditions, the berries can last over 20 years, so 2 years should not be a problem, as long as you keep them from insects and moisture. http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/14929/what-shelf-life-wheat-berries
