Tips

Store in cool, dry area; refrigerate or freeze to extend shelf life.
Once opened, transfer nuts to a covered airtight container or place original package in a resealable plastic bag.
To freeze, place nuts in airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
If nuts develop an off odor or taste, or if mold appears, they should be discarded.
