Are nuts suitable for freezing?
Nuts can be frozen very well. It is not necessary to process them beforehand. You don't have to remove the shell either. It is important that the nuts are fresh and of good quality. Due to their high fat content, nuts do not form crystals and stay fresh in the freezer for about a year without any loss of quality.

The freezing
You can have nuts with their shells, without their shells, ground or Freeze chopped. On the one hand, the freshness of the goods and, on the other hand, suitable packaging for the freezer is important. It is best to use freezer bags or cans so that the nuts are packed airtight and cannot take on the taste of other frozen food. The intact original packaging is also suitable for freezing. The packaging is marked with the current date or the best before date.
Thawing
If you need nuts in the kitchen, just thaw the amount you want. It is important here to thaw the nuts in the opened packaging. This allows any moisture present to escape during the thawing process, the nuts stay dry and you prevent possible mold formation. Whole frozen nuts should be thawed before further processing. Nuts that have already been ground can also be used frozen.
