Due to their high polyunsaturated fat content, walnuts are extremely perishable and care should be taken in their storage. Shelled walnuts should be stored in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator, where they will keep for six months, or the freezer, where they will last for one year. Unshelled walnuts should preferably be stored in the refrigerator, although as long as you keep them in a cool, dry, dark place they will stay fresh for up to six months. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 sharon, for pecans, 2C whole pecans = 1C ground. pecans and walnuts are about the same size so i'd expect the ratio to be pretty close. silvia > >> >> I have a recipe that calls for grinding 2 cups of walnuts.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks Silva, that makes sense. The 1:1 ratio sounded odd, as whole walnuts have all those crevices, and there certainly is a fair amount of 'air space' in a cup full of them. I'll give the 2:1 a try, and see what happens. My cookies have come out great when grinding them myself. I hope I don't mess it up ... nut flours are expensive!!! > >> > >> I have a recipe that calls for grinding 2 cups of walnuts.
