Walnuts are very widely used by culinary specialists for the preparation of various dishes. All this is due to the fact that nuts have a great taste, they are nutritious and have healing properties.
They contain a unique set of vitamins, minerals, vegetable protein and unsaturated fatty acids. However, it is precisely because of the high fat content that walnuts have a short shelf life. And therefore, it is very important to carefully consider storage for the winter.
Proper storage of walnuts allows you to keep them without problems until the next harvest. Nuts can be stored in their shells or shelled. Nuts are best stored in the shell and do not lose their healing and taste qualities for up to a year. Shelled walnuts are more difficult to store. Properly they should be stored in the refrigerator or even in the freezer.
