🥜 1. Buy Fresh, Raw Walnuts

• Whole, in-shell walnuts stay fresh longer.
• If buying shelled walnuts, choose raw and unroasted to avoid added oils and salts.

❄️ 2. Store Properly

• Refrigerate or freeze to preserve freshness and prevent rancidity (walnuts go bad quickly due to high fat content).
• Use an airtight container.
• Room temp = 1 month
  Fridge = 6 months
  Freezer = 1 year+

🔥 3. Toast for Better Flavor

• Toasting brings out their natural oils and intensifies flavor.
• How to toast:
  • Oven: 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes
  • Skillet: Medium heat, stirring frequently for ~5 mins
  • Watch closely – they burn fast!

🧂 4. Balance Bitterness

• Walnuts can be slightly bitter due to tannins in the skin.
• To reduce bitterness:
  • Soak in water for a few hours (optional)
  • Toast lightly
  • Combine with sweet or creamy ingredients (like honey, yogurt, dates)

🧁 5. Use in Both Sweet & Savory Dishes

• Sweet: banana bread, brownies, oatmeal, granola
• Savory: pesto, salads, stir-fries, sauces, stuffing, meat coatings
