Yes, you can freeze pine nuts for long-term storage to maintain their freshness and prevent them from going rancid.
To store pine nuts, keep them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and air exposure, which can lead to rancidity. For short-term storage, keep them in a cool, dark place like a pantry. For longer storage, it's best to refrigerate or freeze them, as cold temperatures can extend their shelf life significantly. Always ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold growth.
If you freeze pine nuts IN THE SHELL, they will keep for a year or so, but not 4 years. The less amount of air in the container extends the life of the nut. When you are ready to eat them, put them a pound in a gallon of boiling water with 1/4 cup salt. After 8 minutes drain and put on a foil lined cookie sheet then bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes for soft nuts or 15 for harder nuts. They are great!
