STORING NUTS

    Nuts  keep  best in their shells  in  dark,  cool,  dry

places.
                                                    

    Store  shelled  nuts in the refrigerator or freezer  in

moisture-proof
containers.                                  

    Allow newly shelled nuts to dry for 2 to 3 days  before

refrigerating
 to  prevent mold growth.   Freeze for  longer

storage.
                                                   

    Whole nutmeats keep better than chopped or ground.     

    Unsalted and blanched nuts keep longer than salted.
