Storage of purified walnuts at home
Walnuts are a storehouse of useful substances, and we often buy them in a purified form so as not to waste time on long and painstaking work. But how to store these tasty and healthy goodies correctly so that they retain their freshness and aroma? Let's figure it out.
Choosing a place of storage - the key to success
The first and most important is the right place. Walnuts do not like moisture and drafts. An ideal place for storing peeled nuts will be a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight. Kitchen countertops are not suitable, especially those where there are products with a pungent smell, such as onions or garlic. Suitable pantry, cabinet or box in the refrigerator.
Correct packaging is the basis for maintaining quality
Peelled nuts must be stored in tightly closed containers of glass or food plastic. It is important to avoid the use of polyethylene packages, since excess humidity can be created in them. You can use vacuum containers that will keep the nuts fresh for a long time. If you do not have special containers, even an ordinary bank with a dense cover that will need to be sterilized before use is perfect.
Optimum temperature and shelf life
Ideally, the storage temperature should be about 10-15 degrees Celsius. In the refrigerator, nuts will last longer, but do not store them there for too long. Pay attention to the date of purchase. Purified nuts under optimal storage conditions can be stored from 2 to 4 weeks. If you store them in the refrigerator, the term will increase. But still, do not delay with their use. The quality of the product is still worsening over time. When buying, it is better to give preference to a fresh product.
Following these simple rules, you can enjoy delicious and healthy walnuts as long as possible!
