How to make rye wallpaper flour yourself
- The rye is washed, poured into one layer. Dry, turning it over several times, in an oven preheated to 40-50 ° C, with the door ajar. Do not wait until it dries on its own - the grains quickly "hatch".
- For grinding, use a manual coffee grinder or a pestle and mortar. You can use a grinder or a mechanical coffee grinder, but then the grind will be too fine, and the husk will also separate.
- To make homemade wallpaper rye flour look like a store flour, you need to dry it again, in the shade, on your own, stirring it several times. Only then is it poured into cotton sacks or paper bags.
Before arriving on store shelves, the goods are stored in a specially equipped well-ventilated warehouse, on racks, for 1-1.5 years, but at home it is not recommended to keep packages (after packing) with rye wallpaper for more than 2-3 months.
