I've been doing some research on what you can and cannot dry pack (with an oxygen absorber packet).
For long term storage, products must have a low oil content and have 10% or less moisture content. Otherwise you risk rancidity and botulism poisoning.
So, DO NOT dry pack the following items:
Pearled Barley
Dried Eggs
Whole Wheat Flour (*Wheat berries are okay*)
Milled Grains (*Rolled oats are okay*)
Granola
Nuts
Brown Rice
Brown Sugar

This is great! Where did you do your research? I'm so glad to know this!
I googled it... and took info from some food storage friends. Also, http://providentliving.org/ has a ton of information.
Thanks for the tip! I guess I won't be using the canner for all of my brown rice like I had planned! I guess I need to get a bucket for it!
So, Brown rice. Does it say the best way to store it? Looks like my PETE containers need to be emptied.
