How do you know if shelled pecans are bad? Stale pecans often develop a bitter, unpleasant taste; if pecans develop a bad smell or taste, or if mold appears, they should be discarded. Some people recommend discarding pecans with holes in the shell, but I think it's best to open them and find out what's inside. It will protect pecans from moisture and also prevent them from absorbing harsh odors from the environment. Therefore, it makes sense that the storage recommendations are slightly different for shelled and shelled pecans.
Like other nuts and high-fat products, pecans will go rancid if you store them long enough or in poor conditions. You've discovered an old bag of unpeeled pecans in your pantry and you're not sure if they're still edible. Because shelled pecans don't have built-in protection from the outside environment, they are much more delicate than shelled pecans. This is because freezing pecans allows you to store them without loss of quality for more than two years.
Shelled pecans can last four to one year in the refrigerator or two to four years in the freezer. When it comes to pecans in shell, you know what you're dealing with once you open them. Or maybe you've become health-conscious and bought a large pack of pecans to meet your nutritional needs. In short, if you store pecans in shell, they will be fine for a long time, even if the storage conditions you provide are far from perfect.
The most important thing to know is that unlike almonds, shelled pecans don't stay healthy at room temperature. But after thinking about it for a while, you decided it was time to learn the right way to store pecans. That said, eating them isn't healthy either, so devouring a whole bag of stale pecans isn't a good idea.
