Proper
storage for Pinon & Pine nuts
Freshly
harvested pine nuts have moisture in them. They need to "breath".
Avoid air tight sealed containers like plastic bags or plastic
food containers because without fresh air they will eventually
go rancid.
If you
do not plan on eating Pinon nuts right away they will lose
weight as they dry. This is normal. Pine Nuts and Pinon nuts
need to be stored in a cool, dry place.
There
are two ways to store them.
1. Store
them in a dry cool area in a paper bag or cotton sack. If
you do it this way, they will eventually dry up and get hard.
This does not affect the flavor at all. If you live in a humid
enviornement, this way will not work for you for longer term
storage.
2. You
can freeze them. You can use any type of container. Most prefer
Zip Lock freezer bags. The only thing you need to be aware
of is that after you get them out and thaw them, you must
roast what you have removed from the freezer. Just thaw out
what you want to roast at that moment.
We
clean, roast and salt in a process that we have perfected.
We package the Pinon nuts and ship it directly to you.
