From: nax (Paul Mendler)
I've bought raw, unsalted sunflower seeds twice
from a local vegie store only to find (after a
week or so of screwtopjar confinement (my purchase,
not me)) that it (my purchase, not the store) is
the occupied territory of a bunch of critters that
look like carraway seeds and twitch like mutilated
thumbs (thanks, e.e.). Nothing else I have bought
there has turned on me like this.
Gentle readers, what is your advise?
Reply to me and I'll post a compilation for all you
other suffering, infested souls out there in netland.
See you at the Moosewood,
Nax

#R:cornell:-752600:zinfandel:23200002:000:314 zinfandel!berry Apr 16 12:35:00 1984 What to do about bugs in your sunflower seeds (or other grains)? What I do is freeze them for a few days. It kills off all the little buggers and they don't multiply. If you don't like killing the poor darlings, keeping your stuff in the 'fridge will slow 'em down, getting you a longer shelf life. --berry
