Ordering Bulk Grains Saves Time and Money

Grains are also commonly referred to as cereals, and they are the edible seeds of various grasses. People consume grains on a daily basis when they eat rice, wheat, corn, rye, among others. Bulk grains are commonly purchased for agricultural purposes, and the grain is stored for use during periods of high demand and low supply.

Bulk grains are a great way of saving money and preparing yourself in advance through storage options. Bulk grains come in many different choices, including rice, gluten-free grains and even wheat berries.

Buying grain in bulk can enable you to avoid higher prices in the future or avoiding poor yields from bad weather.

What to consider when ordering bulk grains

The supplier

The supplier you choose will determine the quality of bulk grains that you will receive. The best suppliers offer high quality grains in the shortest time possible, delivery options and a range of choices.

Depending on your specific area, your supplier should be knowledgeable of how to package and store your bulk grains. They can also provide helpful tips on planting, using and distributing the bulk grains.

Quantity discounts

When buying grains in bulk, you will most likely get a quantity discount from the supplier. Consider buying grains that are in season and are currently in plentiful supply in the market. Quantity discounts typically start from 10% going upwards.

Storage options

Before you finally purchase your grain, consider where you will store it first. Grains need to be stored in a cool, dry area. Make sure you use containers that are tightly sealed, and keep the grains away from humid conditions. Proper storage practices can increase the life of your grains and keep them from pests and rotting.

Wheat grains can be home to tiny insect eggs that can hatch into live insects under the right conditions. It is therefore important to keep oxygen out of your storage containers to prevent the insects from growing. Bright lights also tend to interfere with the structure and longevity of your seeds.

The benefits of buying in bulk

  • Saves on costs: Quantity discounts can help you save on the cost of bulk grains. It's also a more convenient option that allows you to prepare in advance for fluctuating demand and supply. 
  • Reduce waste: With bulk buying, you can determine your usage in advance and prepare your purchase to match how much grain you will need.
