Date: July 26, 2009 06:40PM Hi,
I am brand new to the Raw world and am sort of learning as I go. the more I read the LESS I know! I have more questions EVERY day! One thing I can't seem to find is how to store raw nuts and seeds. I did a search here and could not come up with any particular posts re: this. Can they be just kept in the fridge or do they need to be frozen and if so how long does everyone think they last in the fridge/freezer.? I just ordered a couple of pounds of raw nuts. Man I have a gazillion questions but I am trying to search to learn before posting! Thanks so much. Re: Storing Raw Nuts and Seed?

Date: July 26, 2009 06:59PM Are they in-shell nuts? If so, you might not need to refrigerate them at all depending upon when they were harvested & the ambient temperature & humidity levels. If they're relatively fresh & it's not too warm or humid & you expect to consume them fairly soon, I wouldn't worry about refrigeration. Longer than a month or so, I'd probably refrigerate them.
On the other hand, if they're shelled, I would refrigerate them. If you're planning on holding them for many months, I'd then freeze them. When I was consuming nuts & seeds, I'd store them in air-tight jars, mason jars or the like. Re: Storing Raw Nuts and Seed?

It's VERY humid here (Orlando) and I bought several pounds so I will freeze a few and put a few in the fridge. Thank you very much! Re: Storing Raw Nuts and Seed?

Date: July 27, 2009 02:57AM We typically buy raw almonds orchard direct in 40 or 50 pound increments. After a number of years of playing the container game we now place them in freeze bags (double bagged) and keep them in the freezer, usually in a box. The bags seem to take up less space. The same applies for beans, quinoa, seeds, berries, etc. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/27/2009 02:59AM by NeonBee. Re: Storing Raw Nuts and Seed?

Glad to know it's also OK to freeze them. I use baggies to freeze dried herbs so Nuts sounds like a good plan also. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
