Apologies if this has been asked before - had a quick look on search but didnt really answer my question! Has anyone had any experience or recommendations regarding the long term storage of quinoa?
As a bit of background I like to to store and rotate some tin stuff, I like to grow stuff but have limited space and I have stashed away in mylar bags some stuff in case there is a real SHTF scenario - I dont really expect anything but just in case, so this is stuff I can pack away and forget about for long periods. Now I know quinoa is a great source of amino acids and the such but do these perish even in the absence of oxegen? I've googled a bit but not coming up with any credible answers.
I imagine like any other grain - freeze to kill bugs, pack in mylar with oxygen absorbers. No idea about amino acids but they must be tough, they survived interstellar travel to start life on earth.
I use it in soups and stews to boost the nutritional value - long term vegetarianism makes you a bit more creative about about things like that. I do agree its not great on its own Just curious about how nutritionally sound it would be after say 8-10 years of storage in mylar and cant seem to get that info anywhere - thanks for your thoughts though
