- Nuts add flavor and a crunchy texture to baked products. Nuts are dried fruits consisting of a kernel inside a hard shell.
- Favorite nuts to use in baking include almonds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, and hazelnuts (filberts)
- Nuts may be used whole or chopped in recipes.
- 1 cup chopped nuts equals 4 ounces.
- Store shelled nuts in an airtight container in a cool place. Heat, light and moisture make nuts go rancid faster. Refrigerate shelled nuts for up to four months or freeze for up to eight months. Unshelled nuts will keep twice as long.
- Substitute the same amount of a different nut than called for in the recipe.
