Frequently Asked Questions

How to store pecans?

Nuts must be kept cold, either in the refrigerator or freezer. Before storing, pack all nuts in clean, dry containers. Zip-closed freezer bags or plastic cartons with tight lids work well.

The secret of storing both in-shell nuts and nut meats is to KEEP THEM COLD. The lower the temperature, the longer nuts keep. In your home refrigerator, nuts store satisfactorily for four to five months; in a zero (0°F) freezer, or lower, they remain in good condition for up to a year.

Nuts in the shell can be held twice as long, at any given temperature, as shelled meats. Nut halves may be held for about twice as long as pieces.

Experiments indicate there is a slight loss in quality of nuts stored in the refrigerator; in the freezer there is no loss in quality. Low in moisture (only 4%), nuts may be refrozen again and again without adversely affecting taste or texture. Always allow cold nuts to warm to room temperature before opening the bag. This will prevent them from absorbing any excess moisture.
