You freeze them at zero or below for a few days or a couple of weeks. Defrost, being sure they are dry. VERY dry. Then put them in the glass jars and oven can them (200 degrees for 20 minutes). Voila, no bugs.

Agreed, things in glass containers just taste better.
Besides, I like being able to see the food in mason jars,
I can readily identify it, and can instantly see if
something's gone bad or been invaded.

We buy organic grains and sometimes end up with pantry
moths or weevils in them while contained in mason jars.
I've been told they come in all unfumigated grain and the
only way to prevent this is to freeze it. Is this so?
