In storing your grains and cereals, you want to make sure you keep out little critters, bugs, insects, etc. Not only is it disgusting to find these little beasts munching on your food, it makes that food, in some cases, uneatable. That is where "food grade" (there's that word again!) diatomaceous earth comes into play. Food grade diatomaceous earth is not DIRT! It is actually broken up shells of tiny creatures called diatoms. These "dead" diatoms, with their sharp remains, have a neat little way of killing insects that might be ingesting your grain, and since you've added diatomaceous earth, are ingesting that, too! You can find suppliers of food grade diatomaceous earth on the inter net. Oh yea, it is 100% safe for the environment and non-poisonous to humans. You've probably ingested it if you've eaten commercial grains...since "they" know what to do to keep critters out of their grains, so do you!
I usually add a small handful of the powdery stuff throughout the process of filling up my buckets with beans, grains, cereals. I have YET to be disappointed with the results.
Any QUESTIONS? I'd be happy to answer
