How to choose
Prefer nuts with smooth, intact shells free of dark spots; they should be uniform in size and have a fresh, mild aroma. Shelled nuts should show no yellowing that indicates oxidation.
How to store
Because of their high fat content, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent rancidity. At room temperature they keep only 2–3 weeks.
