Wheat Starch

Low Protein food is not cheap!!  My very best find was the 50lb wheat starch bags at Honeyville Grain in Salt Lake City.  It is near the airport, about 45 miles away for me, not too bad.  I go about once a year.  Last time I bought 150lbs.  Not sure how long it will last.  I hate working with wheat starch.  It is very messy, so the last thing I want to do is work with a 50lb bag.  So, I deal with the mess in one day.  I used to can it in gallon sized cans, but now I use the mylar storage bags.  We have the LDS Lindon Cannery nearby.  I buy the wheat starch, then I rent a sealer from the cannery for 24 hours, bring it home, and fill the bags in my garage.  It is also a good workout for my kids to carry the bags down to the basement :).  It feels so wonderful to have bins full of packaged wheat starch!  Then I can have a workable sized container in my kitchen, and when it runs out I just grab a new mylar bag from the basement and dump the wheat starch in the kitchen container.

My bins of wheat starch filled mylar bags.
