Keep all the salad stuff together? Or in my case, we have almost no cabinet storage or pantry so all our groceries go in the fridge

Why on earth do you keep walnuts in a fridge?

Seriously. Should keep them in the freezer instead.

It’s not a terrible idea, the oils can go rancid.

This! Nuts belong in the fridge.

Instructions unclear, nuts stuck to ice cream, send help.
SourDragon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My fiery dragon breath might help with that. Hold still! 🔥🐲

Your freezer is way too cold if stuff can get stuck to ice cream.

You have to eat nuts pretty slowly for this to be a problem in my experience. I have had nuts go rancid but they were really old. It’s like sauces - they say “keep refrigerated” on the bottle but if you use them consistently it’s better not to crowd the fridge/keep space for higher priority things.

Who leaves nuts around long enough for them to go rancid?
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Trees

If you find a deal for some that can easily happen. I fucking love nuts but it’s easy to get tired of them after eating one kind every day for a while, it’s a good idea to put them in the freezer until you get a craving again.

Huh, I thought oils went rancid because of oxygen? I didn’t think cold slowed that process for oils very much.

Cold slows many chemical reactions, including this one. Nuts will last even longer in the freezer.
Removing them from an oxygen environment will also slow the reaction.

i think there was a law that 10°C temperature difference cuts the reaction rate of biochemistry in half.

Better pack OP into the fridge too, then.

Not all nuts, just oily ones like walnuts.
M137@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Heh, oily nuts.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Shelled nuts belong in the fridge and unshelled ones outside.

Not in walnuts, no.
db2@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes in walnuts, yes. I just tossed a bag not long ago for that reason.
Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
But it takes like a year or so.

Like, in tropical climate? My mom (farmer) dries them, fresh from the tree, in the heating room for a month or two, before they can even be demoulded. Can then be kept at least a year.
