you don,t want to do that vinnie , if he gets a old spin dryer andgives it a whirl it might help but not washing my friend it gets damp and then crinkly bottoms and swells no i don,t think so somehow

Yes,i can see how that could happen,but when we wash the mixtures we use little water,and it dries pretty fast.and we only wash what we are going to feed,and maybee only two kilos at a time.i personaly dont like polished mixtures you buy from the big suppliers,but thats just my thoughts

my grandfather used to wash all his beans during the summer on warm dry days where he could dry them quickly keeping them turned.

When they were dry he would just buff them up in a sack and store them in the spare bedroom for 2 years before they were used.

They were then nearly black and shon like glass.

Beans having a hard shell didn't absorb any moisture by having a quick wash but he never washed soft shelled grains.

personally don't see the point in storing the beans for 2 years , would this years beans or peas not be better used this year ?? instead of letting them dry out and possibly losing some goodness

The reason for using 2 year old beans is they have  lower moisture content.

Forgot to say, My mate is nearly 90 and full of old tricks. He polishes corn by putting codliver oil on an old pillow case, then put a ew pound ofcorn in at a time and shake it all up. All the dus sticks to the pillow case, whcih ends up black ! Corn ends up shiney.

coated in oil which can go rancid if not used quickly

on the price of grub now,, i think this would be a good investment ,, as part of the price is the cleaning , some storage places are not the cleanest from rats and mice etc. , grain can be bought cheaper uncleaned,,,,,,  

[jimmy white]

what about a giant microwave ;D ;D ;D ;D  for a few mins ;D

try this measure out one pound of beans and put them in the oven at a veru low temperature overnight andthen weigh them the next morning and you would be surprised as to how much water they hold and thats what you are paying for WATER

yes that's why they term them as" new beans" or "old beans" [or like us,,has beans ;D ;D] same year beans are full of moisture content  therefore weigh a lot more

about 5% would be waste
