How do you know when nuts are stale?

Nuts don't go stale per se, but they can turn rancid. Most tree nuts, as well as peanuts, have a high fat content. It's the lipids in nuts that "turn" (go bad). Rancid nuts have a soapy, bitter taste.


How do you cure old pecans?

Pecans, and all nuts, should be refrigerated to prevent their oils from becoming rancid. Also, nuts should be soaked in a salt water solution for 6-12 hours and then dried before eating or storing. This removes the phytic acid layer of the nuts, helps prevent them from going rancid, and improves their flavor. Pecans will no longer have an unpleasant aftertaste and in fact, become sweeter and more buttery tasting. If the nuts are already rancid, you can try soaking and drying them anyway and that will probably help.
