According to the food storage experts at provident living dot com, properly stored wheat can last for 30+ years.Last week Iopened a sealed barrel of wheat my grandfather bought in the 1940s. It looked and smelled as fresh as a new bag from the market. I ground it into flour and baked it into bread and it tasted FANTASTIC!

Unmilled whole wheat berries (not ground) can be stored indefinitely, when stored in airtight containers. Once the grain is milled, it immediately begins to oxidize (the wheat germ and wheat germ oil) and within 72 hours, 90% of its nutrients will be gone.

Yes. But you must remove 2 TBSP from each cup called for in the recipe. Also, since wheat flour is much heavier than all purpose flour, be sure to sift it before measuring. If you don't have a sifter, just fluff the flour well with a fork before scooping. Hope this helps!

What alternative flours can replace white and wheat flour?

Different flours can be used interchangeably, although they will not produce identical products. White flour is a type of wheat flour that has all elements of the wheat grain removed except for the starchy inner part of the grain. It is usually chemically bleached to the preferred whiteness. Other types of wheat flour include unbleached white flour, whole wheat flour and cracked wheat flour. Bread flour is wheat flour with a higher percentage of gluten, while pastry flour is wheat flour with lower gluten. Self-rising flour is wheat flour to which salt and leavening ingredients are added. Some flours that can replace wheat flours are spelt flour, oat flour, rye flour, rice flour and corn flour. Each type of flour will have a distinctive taste and texture.
