Nuts are rich in valuable nutrients, including omega-3, proteins, and antioxidants. However, their high natural oil content makes them prone to going rancid if not stored properly.
- Storing shelled nuts: To keep them fresh for longer, shelled nuts should be stored in zippy bags, in the fridge, or in a cool place. It is very important that, before being placed in the fridge, the nuts are thoroughly dried. You can leave the nuts to dry for a few days, then put them in the zip-lock bags.
For freezing the nuts, follow the same procedure. - Storing nuts in the shell: If you want to keep them in the shell for as long as possible, the nuts should first be dried and then stored in a dry, cool place. By drying them first, you can more easily avoid rancidity in the storage location. It is recommended to store the nuts in cloth bags or crates to allow air circulation and prevent moisture, which can lead to mold.
