I saw this in an article, thought it was a good tip to see if your dehydrated foods are good to store. That is dry enough to store
If you are storing grain, the following "rule of thumb" might help: Put a kernal of grain on a white piece of paper, on concrete. Hit it with a hammer. If it shatters, it is probably dry enough to store. If it does not shatter, but rather smashes flat, it is definately too moist. If the impact of the grain leaves an oily spot on the paper, it is too high in oil content.
Not sure if this was posted elsewhere but I thought I'd post it.
