Nuts are a fine thing. The walnut is one of the best-known nuts in our part of the world. They are used in many different ways - in cakes, biscuits, Christmas cookies or as a flavoring agent in liqueurs.
How do you store tree nuts correctly?
If you collect the nuts yourself, crack them out of their shells. Wash them and leave them to dry in a dry and airy place. Place them on cloths or grids. The drying process takes two to six weeks, depending on the moisture content of the nuts. They are sufficiently dried when the skin on the kernels no longer peels off and the walls between the nut halves are hard . Pack the nuts in mesh bags. You can store them in a dry place for about a year. However, do not put them in the oven or dehydrator. If the tree nuts are heated above 25 degrees, they will become rancid and cannot be stored. If you discover mold on the nuts, always throw them away! Mold can be poisonous.
