CHODOSH
BULLETIN-19 JUL 16
The harvest
of the Chodosh spring wheat and barley had not yet started as of the beginning
of this week. Therefore, below are the revised tentative starting dates:
Our tentative
recommended cutoff dates for packaged foods is Jul 20 for oats and Aug 3 for
wheat and barley products (not malt, which is much later). These are packaging
dates. It should take several weeks beyond that for the Chodosh packages to
reach the local groceries. However, freshly baked goods in bakeries, such as
bread, challah, bagels may be Chodosh (tentative) starting Aug 3 in the mid
West and Aug 10 elsewhere in the US.
Even though
pesach was late on the solar calendar this year, still almost all of the 3
crops of interest were planted after pesach and are Chodosh. The early harvest
this year is due to weather conditions in the growing areas.
Those who
want to purchase Yoshon items to store over the Chodosh season should do so
now, as soon as possible.
The next
revised update on this topic is due BE”H one week from now.
