STORAGE TIPS: Nearly Expired Staples
Freeze nuts and refrigerate flour to preserve freshness
“There are some foods that people think last forever, but actually spoil. I'm thinking of whole grain flours, nuts, and olive oil, which develop a rancid taste after a short period of exposure to air. I keep nuts in the freezer, flours in the fridge, and olive oil in small, dark containers in a cool place.” (Mitchell Davis of The James Beard Foundation, New York City)
