I have a little tip. If you put noodles, rice and flour in the freezer for 2 weeks, you will never get these little critters. I'm trying it out now myself. My friend says it really works. :D
Also, use the bayleaves.
It works wonderfully!

I bought one of those in 1978 and I still use it, keeps the crackers nice and fresh. :-D

You are so right. I called Mahatma the other day about that on a bag of rice that had another year to go on it's expiration date.

I bake bread twice a week and store large amounts of different flours. I seal them in plastic bags with 3-4 bay leaves, freeze them for 2-3 days, store in a dark, dry place and have never had a bug of any type. I have flour that is 4 years old and still makes very fine bread. I try to get Amish flour when I can as it is more pure and less fine and makes better bread. You can do the same for beans. Oh yes, label and date so you can rotate, I take from the back and store from the front.

eggs and they don't hatch. I use whole wheat flours and have found that storing it in the freezer prevents it from going rancid.
Yup you just have to warm it up before using! :-D
