The
whole un-shelled soft shell Pine Nuts that we sell need to be stored
in a dry, and cool location. Because they are sold fresh, they have
moisture in them still. They need to "breathe."
If
they are stored in any type of air tight, sealed container like a
plastic bag, a sealed can, or a sealed plastic food container they
will gradually go sour, then eventually moldy.
This is something
we can guarantee. Also, if you do not plan on eating them
right away they will dry up and loose weight.
If you do not plan on eating
your pine nuts immediately or within the first few days upon
receiving them and if you wish to save them for several weeks or
even months you can use these freezing instructions. These freezing
instructions will help to maintain the freshness of your Nevada Soft
Shell Pine Nuts for as long as you wish (we recommend no longer than
2 months, but truly they can be kept frozen for a *life time and
maintain the freshness).
Directions:
Put pine nuts in plastic bag
(recommend zip-loc) or any plastic container (as long as it can be
sealed up). Than fill bag or container up with water allow
water to completely cover pine nuts) and seal. Than place bag
or container in freezer (make sure that the water in the bag or
container freezes completely). Now your done. So
whenever you want to eat some you set the water and pine nuts out to
melt and enjoy.
Note: Once the pine nuts are defrosted they
must be
eaten or roasted within 3 days.
