Storage

Use Airtight Containers

• Store in airtight glass, stainless steel, or food-grade plastic containers.
• Avoid storing in jute or cloth bags for long periods, especially in humid climates.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place

• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Avoid Cross-Contamination

• Store different types of grains separately.
• Don’t mix old and new stock to prevent pest transfer.

Use Natural Pest Repellents

• Add dried neem leaves, bay leaves, or cloves to containers to naturally deter insects.
• You can also use ash or diatomaceous earth in small amounts for long-term storage (ensure food-safe quality).

Regular Checks

• Inspect containers monthly for signs of insects, moisture, or spoilage.
  Sun-dry grains again if needed, especially in humid months.

First In, First Out (FIFO)

• Always use older grains first to maintain freshness and reduce waste.
