Walnuts
Walnuts stand apart from other nuts because of their high level of omega-3 fatty acids, which are critical for mental and physical health and are often lacking in Western diets.
Once shelled, walnuts are highly perishable. They can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for long term storage.
