WALNUT TIPS

Store walnuts in the refrigerator up to 6 months, or in your freezer for longer than 6 months. Walnuts go rancid when exposed to warm temperatures for long periods of time. Heat causes the fat in walnuts to change structure, which creates off odors and flavors. Fresh walnuts smell mildly nutty and taste sweet. If your walnuts smell like paint thinner, you know they’re rancid. And if they’re rancid, you should throw them away. Walnuts will keep indefinitely in the freezer.

Toasting Walnuts:

OVEN: Bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes, checking frequently.

MICROWAVE: Spread walnuts in a single layer in a microwave safe plate. Microwave on High for 5-6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

STOVE TOP: Cook walnuts in a dry skillet on Medium High heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
