I have a question about storing my seeds

November 14, 2010

Okay, let's see if I got it right (once more, lol).

I use the pumpNseal to seal up my seeds. No need to freeze anything at any

time, because bugs can't live in a vacuum and that's what the PumpNSeal thing

does. so far so good.

The thing that confuses me with the little tabs that you put on the lids is that

when you want to use the seeds, and to open the lid, you have to peel back the

tab.

So do you use the same tab to re-close the lid, or do you go to that package

with the 20 other tabs, peel off another tab and use that one to reseal the lid?

I'm not planning on using, then reclosing mason jars when I store them. I'll

store about 10 jars, using 10 tabs, and I plan on using one jar at a time. (Oh,

that would mean I have to make a salad mix, doesn't it), so I've just changed my

mind. Oh, I just thought of something. I could have one mason jar with a salad

mixture of radish, fenugreek and alfalfa. I would also have another mason jar

of just broccoli seeds.

So ever 5 days or so, I would be using two mason jars. So do I use a new tab

when I open the lid, or do I use the same tab. I realize you don't know the

answer right now, but you have used storage methods so you HAVE TO know more

than I do??

also the price is really cool for this PumpNSeal thing. $35 bucks. And thanks

for trying to get some answers for me.

Much much appreciated.

You're a good guy (as are all the gang here at this forum).

I would never have learned what I have learned if I didn't come here.

Take care.

Hi All.

Look it's up on Ebay for $22.00. Guess what the shipping is $16.95. Are they

for real? no way

I'll pump by hand if I have to lol

Melody,Hopefully the PumpnSeal company will get back promptly to Fred about

these questions. Since I am feeding myself, my husband, and about 30 birds, we

don't have that much to store, but if I start buying in quantity as you do, I am

glad to have the info in the event I need to store them.

My goal today is to clean out the freezer to see what I have been " storing " in

there since Summer. I already know there are about 10 bags of young coconut

meat! The Food Saver would have been nice to have over the Summer :)marion

November 14, 2010

Melody, I just sent them another email asking about the tabs. As

soon as I get the answer I will post it.

In my case I do not freeze my seeds even though I have done it in the

past. I store them in a cool place except the ones I use from a

jar. I got those in the cupboard in the kitchen. I have never had

problems that way. I got a month ago 80kg (that's 176lbs) of seeds

from Mumm's in Saskatchewan, Canada. I live now in Switzerland. I

buy them from Mumm's because I always got the seeds from them when I

was living in Canada. Here I haven't found a store where I could buy

the seeds, unfortunately, since the shipping is VERY expensive.

Thanks for the compliment! I love to share my experiences with

sprouts as do so many people on this forum. We need to support each

other wherever we can. I believe this will be of utmost importance

in the near future.

Mel, I would put the seeds into the jars just as soon as they arrived. Vac pac

seal them and then put them in the freezer until you wanted to sprout them. Take

out what you need, then reseal and put the remainder back in the freezer.

I would give the fridge thing a test. I'll check with the college this week. I

know they store seeds in a fridge. I'll ask if there is any special prep

involved.

ew

Re: I have a question about storing my seeds

Hi. (Thanks n and EW for the food saver info) This is for all of you who

have used Food Saver things.

I just saw the PumpNSeal on youtube. There are a few videos. It costs around

$35.00 which is peanuts compared to the FoodSaver thing.

So I'm wondering. Besides pumping and sealing the seeds in a mason jar (do you

then put the mason jar in the freezer, or do you put the mason jar on the

shelf). And because I freeze my seeds BEFORE putting them in any container, I

gather that you would not put the mason jar back in the freezer after using

PumpNSeal because of possible condensation.

So the correct order of doing this process is .

1. buy seeds

2. freeze seeds 24 hours

3. Take seeds out of freezer, put in mason jar, follow instructions on PumpNSeal

which tells you to do the pushpin at the top of the lid), now does this work on

Mason jar lids, because the guy in the tutorial was using jam and jelly jars,

not mason jars, so before I plunk down $35.00 for anything, I want to be able to

use the Mason jars I now have in my cupboard.

4. So if I've done everything correctly, I should have a mason jar sealed with

sprouting seeds inside the jar, and I now can place said Mason Jar on my shelf

for as long as I need to. Let's say I am 10 mason jars filled with seeds. I

don't need to touch the other ones because I'll only be opening one jar at a

time (which will last forever) given that I've pumped and sealed many mason

jars.

So did I get this correct?

And now for the second question.

Once I have done all this, and I begin my sprouting process and I've sprouted

using my trays, can I (and this is a good question), can I put the sprouts in a

ziplock bag, do the pump and seal thing (the guy said you can use regular

ziplock bags and he gives the tutorial on this), well can I suck out all the air

of the ziplock bag containing sprouts, and put in fridge????? You can suck out

air in a ziplock bag filled with sprouts and only use as needed, and then resuck

out air???.

To me, this would EXTEND those sprouts like crazy. I mean if this is a viable

scenario.

So tell me if I got this down pat.

I'm always looking for ways to store my sprouts (both in freezer,and on my shelf

(the seeds I mean), and in my fridge (the sprouts!)

This is so cool

Their page says the tabs are reusable, but? With my machine, I vacuum the air

out and seal the lid on at the same time. I open the lid by using the edge of a

knife so as not to damage the lid. Then take out what I need and reseal the jar

using the same lid. Food Saver also has larger container that holds a lot. When

I make soup or chili, I always make a lot. I can store one serving in a mason

jar or all the left-overs in one of their larger containers.

EW:

I can freeze my mason jars? I'm not sure if these are freezable, and I'm not

going to go and buy some new kind of mason jar. I am expecting my OSO fresh

containers soon.

Might I put the newly arrived seeds in these containers (after making sure

there's a tight seal by pressing all around and securing the locks).

I mean, maybe someday I'll get the pump and seal, but I just bought this 36

piece OSO fresh container thing with the silver nanoparticles and I want to be

able to use them. Storing seeds would seem viable.

So here's my next possible scenario.

Melody gets the 5 lb can of broccoli seeds. Melody opens the cans, takes out

seeds, puts in OSO Fresh containers, THEN WHAT DOES MELODY DO?

Put the containers on my shelf, or store in freezer?

THANK YOU!!!!! lol

melody

P.S. I am very happy that Fred got me the answers because SOME day I'm going to

get that PumpnSeal or that Food Save thing. I just wanted the information ahead

of time. I'm like a Magyver. I have to KNOW stuff. lol

November 14, 2010

Hi Fred:

I tried the link. It is not working. I do thank you for ALL the cool stuff about

the PumpNSeal. Because I just bought my OSO Fresh containers, I might get this

item down the road. I wanted to find out all about it before I bought it. I like

knowing beforehand before I get something. Like using a dvr. My friend has one,

I still use regular cable boxes. I would NEVER order a dvr without learning how

to use it. I went to her house, she showed me. So now I know how to use a dvr,

so if I EVER get one, at least I'll be somewhat familiar with it.

I have watched all the tutorials about the PumpNSeal. Then it came to the

ziplock bag and the guy pulled out this tube thing and attached it and I

immediately said " why can't I just put a straw in the ziplock bag and suck out

the air??? "

I mean, why can't I. I have good lung function. lol

I used to have this Reynolds thing but they no loner make the bags for it. That

was a good vacuum sealer.

And you live in Switzerland?? How cool is that? I'm corresponding with someone

in Switzerland. About sprouting!!!!

How fun!!

Can't thank you enough. I'm bookmarking the sites for the PumpNSeal. I'll tell

my family members " when it's gift gadget time " , get me one of these. I mean,

these are the people who got me the Flip Video and I use this ALL THE TIME. I

mean, how else would I share my videos with you all??

So Happy Sprouting, and keep teaching me stuff.

And I'll pay it forward.

lol

EW:

I just tried two experiments using the ziplock bag filled with sprouts that is

now in my fridge.

First I got a straw and sucked. It worked but I don't think it's going to stay

that way.

Then I took my Reynolds handi vac thing. I took the same bag of ziplock

sprouts. I made a little hole, I then placed the reynolds thing over the hole

and pressed the power button.

What was supposed to happen is that the device was supposed to vacuum all the

air out of the ziplock bag. And I know it's not the correct bag but you can't

get those bags anymore. So I just thought " Why not make a hole, and try and use

the device "

What happened?? Nothing happened. Didn't suck anything out of the bag.

Oh well, I had to try.

Ooh, oooh, look what I just found on ebay. I just emailed this guy.

Now I already have the Reynolds handivac. Can't get the bags any more

I was just confused if this listing gives you any bags along with the little

gadget. I mean $20 bucks won't break me but if the guy includes some bags, even

the better.

It's a good thing, no? At least I'll get to suck the air out of something. lol

Mel. If you are going to use up you seeds in less than a year, put them in your

cupboard. Put them in a cool dry place. Because heat rises, put them down low.

My seeds are on a rack on the floor of a closet that is in the very center of my

house. Its the coolest spot in my house.

I think you're worry about bugs is unfounded. You are buying from a quality seed

house. They are not going to have bugs or bug eggs.

Yes, you can put regular mason jars in the freezer, just don't over fill. Leave

room for expansion.

I am looking into some manual vacuum pump things on ebay, but this thing looks

great.

I wonder if this is still available. I'm going to check it out. Not for

And for storing the sprouts in the fridge. Hey, besides my OSO FRESH, sometimes

I use ziplocks and if this thing sucks out the air, well, it will extend the

fridge life.

Today I got very organized. I took all the sprouting seeds out of my freezer and

decided to put the in my Lock N Lock storage containers. I bought those BEFORE I

purchased my first OSO Fresh.

These don't have any silver nanos but they do keep things fresh. So I

transferred all my seeds into the various containers, locked them up good and

tight and now my seeds are on my shelf nice and safe.

When I am ready to order the next batch of seeds (I will have had my deliver of

my new OSO Fresh containers by then), I will then add to the collection on the

shelf.

According to EW, I open the 5 lb cannisters, pour the seeds into the container,

freeze for 24 hours, then take out of freezer and put on shelf. They should be

good to go.

And with the other Oso Fresh stuff, I'll put in leftovers, dried pasta, my

veggies, etc.

Can't wait.

Just call me Mrs. Organized.

Melody, I have been sprouting for about 20 years. I have never had larvae or any

other kind of bug in my seeds. I used to store them in a closet in the bags they

came in until a mouse got into my house. I transferred them to quart jars. They

are neither refrigerated nor frozen. Please tell us the experience you have had

with bugs and where you bought the seed.

Melody, maybe you should take that sealer off her hands J

To seal a mason jar you use an attachment called a jar sealer. I got mine

on eBay.

Hi EW:

What do you mean when you say:

" You could seperate your seeds into pint jars "

Do you mean mason jars?? You put the mason jar filled with seeds into the

food saver thing? I know exactly what a food saver is because my friend

bought one two years ago (maybe more) and she's NEVER taken it out of the

box. She has stuff from her bridal shower (over 40 years ago) that is still

wrapped up and in the back of the closet. I told her to go on Ebay and sell

the stuff. lol

So a food saver would be good for vacuum sealing the seeds, but ...pint

jars????

I got mine from Fred Meyer (Kroger owns them and QFC) if you have any of

those in your area.

You can also purchase the Food Saver from foodsaver.com. That is where I

purchased mine for around $150, and I love it.

I never thought of that. I'll ask her when I see her.

But my shelves look so nice now. I have the LockNLock containe with all my

seeds. Should have done this a long time ago.

Sorry, girl, but I did not say anything about freezing them for 24 hours. That

is something the pet store clerk told you. Put them into what ever container

that you are going to store them in and then put them into a cool dry place.

Okay, Melody got EW confused with the Pet guy. So is it okay if when I get my

next delivery of the 5 lb cans of any seeds, that I put them in the containers

they will be housed in, put in freezer (yeah I know that you don't, but I WILL

HAVE PEACE OF MIND, LOL), and THEN, take them out of my freezer and keep on my

lower shelf for storage.

Please, Please, tell me I passed muster, oh Master Gardner!!!

Melody, just make sure that your containers are filled right to the

very top so that as little air as possible is in the container. The

less air the less condensation is possible.
