Each cereal has a shelf life - how to store grains at home?
Rice
More than 1.5 years is not worth it. Well, considering the fact that it is stored in warehouses and stores, this period is even less. Rice can be stored in tightly closed containers or special bags in a cool dry place. To avoid bugs bred, put in it a few metal caps from bottles or garlic.
Millet
To cook a delicious millet porridge, you need only fresh grits. Without losing its taste properties of millet is stored only 4 months. If your rump more than 4 months, fill it with boiling water and baking soda (per liter of water 1 teaspoon), rinse and pat dry.
Buckwheat
Should not be stored for longer than 20 months. If it has been more than six months before cooking porridge, fry it in a pan.
Semolina
Shelf life of semolina - 14 months. To improve its palatability, semolina, as well as buckwheat can be fried in a frying pan.
Oatmeal "Hercules"

These and all other cereals can be stored on the balcony, in cabinets or shelves, but always in a closed container. Otherwise, in the rump zavedutsya unexpected guests - bugs and worms.
