In doing some rotating and inspecting of my "pantry" I discovered some winged critters in my 5 gallon bucket of pintos.
The beans are in Mylar (which I intend to open, inspect and re-seal..but they were treated with dry ice prior to storage so I'm puzzled.
1. Thought the dry ice killed off the little scum bags. Been considering switching to food grade DE instead. opinions?
2. Aside from cleaning the bucket, etc...I'm thinking there's a way of salvaging these beans so they don't get tossed. Don't want to rinse (mold potential)...just sift through?? Sift and freeze in batches?
3. Is this common?
Glad I'm checking. I'd hate to have discovered after they consumed all the product
