We’re obviously the experts on nuts. We’d even go so far as to say that nobody knows nuts like we do. Since we know what we’re talking about, people always ask us: “How do I take care of my nuts?” “What’s the best way to store my nuts?” “What are the best ways to enjoy my nuts?” You’ve got questions, and we’ve got answers. Without further ado, here’s our definitive guide to the care and keeping of your nuts.

Keep Your Nuts Dry

First up on the list: proper nut storage. Now, it’s very important that you keep your nuts cool and dry. Otherwise, they just won’t taste the same. What you want is a nice, firm, tasty nut. Proper storage will help your nuts last for a long time. Pantries, kitchen cupboards, and even closets make a great place to park your nuts for a while. You might also periodically check your nuts to make sure that they’re getting the most from their storage conditions. This is extra important during hot and humid months. Humidity can wreak havoc on your nuts.

Your Nuts Should Travel Comfortably

You’ll obviously want to take your nuts with you when you travel, so it’s important to make sure that they travel well. Don’t just throw your nuts in the backseat of your car. Have some respect. Proper nut storage extends to travel, too. Now, you don’t have to do anything crazy. Your nuts won’t need their own throne or anything. A specially-designed nut bucket or nut basket will give your nuts everything that they’ll need for safe and comfortable travel. This way, you can enjoy your nuts throughout your entire vacation.

Nuts Love Variety

Listen, everyone loves some salty nuts. We all know that. However, it’s important to mix it up a bit. Nuts love variety. There’s nothing wrong with having salty nuts as your default, but maybe introduce your salty nuts to some sweet nuts every once in a while. If you really want to go crazy, add some spicy nuts into the mix.

Feel the Burn

Hey, hot stuff, can you feel the burn? Do you know someone who loves the heat? In any group, there’s always someone with dragon breath. Typically a mild-mannered person, this pepper fanatic morphs into a fire eater who claims, “That’s not hot – I add a ton of hot peppers to my chili!” We all know someone who chomps jalapeno peppers like strawberries and who opens his cupboard – is it true that it’s always a guy? – to show you his spread of hot sauces. Well, here’s the world’s hottest gift for that character: a chance to grow the world’s hottest peppers with Try My Nuts.

It is used for bear spray and to reduce pain from arthritis, psoriasis, and shingles. And it’s used to put both pain and flavor in your food. When ordering peppers, most packages come marked with Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) that identify the intensity of the heat. Sweet peppers get 0 SHUs...
