Pecan Storage




Source of Recipe


Unknown


List of Ingredients




Store pecans under refrigeration. Lowering the temperature extends storage life, ranging from 6 months at 70°F for unshelled pecans to 8 years at 0°F for either shelled or unshelled nuts.

Unshelled pecans can be stored for a longer period of time than shelled nuts. The unbroken shell protects the kernel from bruising and offers some protection against oxidation and rancidity of the kernel.

If pecans are refrigerated or frozen, they should be placed in airtight containers. Pecan meats readily absorb odors from other foods, resulting in off flavors. If pecans are to be stored at room temperature for an extended period of time, they should be held in containers that are adequately ventilated. Avoid storing pecans that have not been dried properly in plastic bags.

Proper storage maintains quality. Poor storage often leads to darkening of kernels and rancidity of the oils, destroying the natural flavor and aroma of the nuts.

NOTES:
To keep pecans fresh and flavorful, follow these buying and storage guidelines:

When buying pecans, look for plump pecans that are uniform in color and size.

Shelled pecans can be kept in the refrigerator for about 9 months and for up to 2 years in the freezer.

Pecans can be thawed and refrozen repeatedly during the 2 year freezing period without loss of flavor or texture.

Airtight containers, such as jars with lids, are best for storing pecans in the refrigerator.

Sealed plastic bags are best for storing pecans in the freezer.

After removal from cold storage, pecans will stay good for an additional 2 months.

In-shell pecans can be stored in a cool, dry place for 6 to 12 months.
