Why store wheat? That has always been a question rolling around in my head. After all, I have never eaten raw wheat and to the best of my knowledge, wheat had to be milled, ground and otherwise processed before it could be come usable.

On the other hand, my education in all things preparedness has taught me that wheat – or more specifically wheat berries – is one of the cornerstones to serious long term food storage. Oh boy. What’s a gal to do?

How to Live on Wheat

A couple of weeks ago I contacted John Hill, the author of “How to Live on Wheat” and asked him if he would be willing to provide me with a review copy of the latest version of his book. (At the time I did not realize that he was almost a neighbor here in Washington State.) What a guy! I had a book in hand a few days later and I was off to the races. Yesterday I sat out on the porch and read his book cover to cover – an easy read – and I now get it.
