Buying tips
Choose fresh green nuts or brown.
Storage tips
Store in the fridge and if green and young do not remove the shell. Will store up until Christmas.
Cooking tips
Prep:
Peel the shell and use whole, chopped, or ground into a flour.
Roasted: roasting any nut brings out the best flavour in them. Shell the nuts and then spread out on a baking tray. Roast at 150 C Gas mark 2 for around an hour depending on how dry they are until hard and browned. Younger new season nuts will take longer.
Raw: use in salads fresh. Chop and season with salt.
Waste reduction tips
Add salt to preserve the nuts and do not let them sweat in the fridge. Store in a paper bag that allows them to breathe.
