Fun Facts About Nuts!
Did you know nuts are also high in oil and can turn rancid quickly? It’s best to buy nuts in small quantities where there is a high turnover of stock. Unshelled nuts have a shelf life of 1 year if kept in an air tight container in a dry, cool place. Store shelled nuts in their original package or in an air tight container in the refrigerator or the freezer for 4-6 months.
Did you know nuts are also high in fat? One ounce of almonds (about 18) equals about 172 calories. In comparison, an egg is about 155 calories and a half an avocado is 130 calories.
