Nut Freshness Tips

For the best experience, please refrigerate nuts soon after delivery

Our compostable packaging offers medium-term freshness protection and a convenient zipper, but storing nuts in airtight glass is best for storage longer than 2 months.

Mason jars are inexpensive and we aligned our product sizes to fill standard jar sizes. You can find pint (2-cup), quart (4-cup), and 1/2-gallon (8-cup) Ball mason jars at many local hardware stores and big box retailers.

Freezing will change texture and flavor

If you need to extend storage time, we recommend vacuum-sealing before freezing. You can use a chamber vacuum sealer with our zip-top packaging; cut just below the seal, open the zipper, and let your sealer take care of the rest.

Refrigerated Shelf Life

You can expect our infused nuts to be delicious for several months after manufacture under recommended storage conditions. Specifically:

  • Chandler Walnuts: at least 4 months
  • Red Walnuts: at least 5 months
  • Elliot Pecans: at least 6 months
  • Kerman Pistachios: at least 9 months

Please check the "enjoy by" date on the label, and ultimately use your nose and tastebuds to decide. Which brings us to...

Rancid nuts

Rancid nuts have an odd aroma like paint thinner and taste very bitter. Compost those!

Refresh stale infused nuts

You can revive non-rancid nuts left out too long by putting them in preheated oven or dehydrator set at around 150F until crispy again, about 1-2 hours.

If your oven's lowest temperature is higher than 150F, set a timer to check at 10-minute intervals after 45 minutes.

The flavor will diminish slightly each time you do that, so consider refreshing smaller amounts as needed. Oh, and enjoy them warm!

A little more packaging info

Our compostable stand-up packaging provides a good medium-term barrier against moisture and odors. It should hold up in standard refrigerator and freezer conditions, but may become brittle in some environments over time; if that happens, please transfer the contents to reusable air-tight containers.
