How to Store Seeds and Nuts

The best way to store seeds and nuts is in the freezer, and there is no need to remove the shells! When the nuts are frozen in the shell, they crack much easier. Not only will your nuts and seeds stay fresher longer, but you don't need to defrost them — use them directly from the freezer.
