Nuts are an integral part of Christmas baking.
As we all know, Christmas is nut season. Almost no Christmas recipe can do without these all-rounders. But how do we actually recognize a bad nut – and can nuts actually expire?
Nuts are justifiably a popular snack because these kitchen all-rounders are an excellent source of nutrients. Especially during the festive Christmas season, its versatile use in various recipes makes it an indispensable part of our kitchen. But how can we ensure that the nuts we enjoy are fresh and of high quality? If you’ve ever noticed dark spots on your nuts, don’t worry—they’re not necessarily a sign that the nuts are spoiled. In many cases it is just natural discoloration or stains on the shell that can occur due to storage or transport. The actual fruit inside often remains untouched.
