{"product_id":"raw-pecans-in-shell","title":"Raw Pecans — In Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn-shell pecans stay fresh up to 12 months at room temperature because the shell seals the kernel from air and light. Pre-shelled pecans have a 3 to 6 month room-temperature shelf life. For pantry buying, holiday baking planned weeks or months ahead, or a table display that sits through an entire holiday season, in-shell is the format that holds.

The 2 lb bag suits two to three baking projects across a holiday season. The 3 lb and 5 lb bags suit households that entertain repeatedly or bake in quantity: buy in early autumn, keep the bag sealed, and crack as needed across the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeal the bag after each use and store in a cool, dry place. In-shell pecans hold up to 12 months at room temperature. Refrigerating extends shelf life to 2 years; freezing extends it to 3 or more years. Once cracked, store loose kernel in a sealed container and use within 3 to 4 months at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 9 months. Only crack the quantity you plan to use in the near term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Pecans In Shell Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Nut Cravings order is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
