Just like fresh fruits and vegetables, pecans are perishable and should always be stored in sealed plastic containers in the refrigerator or the freezer to prevent oxidation from occurring. The good oils, vitamins and minerals oxidize and decline when the pecans are left out at room temperature.
In Shell pecans should be stored in a cool, dry place for immediate use. Cracked pecans should be shelled as soon as possible, air dried and placed in a sealed plastic bag. Shelled pecans should also be stored in a sealed plastic bag.
In order to get the healthiest benefits from your pecans, store them in the refrigerator up to 3 months or in the freezer up to 2 years.
