fall. The freshest pecans begin to be available in late November. Cold

Keeping Pecans Fresh:
Pecans have natural oils that make them flavorful.
To prevent the pecans from drying out and becoming rancid, you should keep
unshelled or shelled pecans refrigerated. They maintain their quality refrigerated
in airtight containers for up to 9 months. For long-term storage, keep
them in an airtight container in the freezer. They can keep that way for
two years or more.
The Texas Pecan Growers Association has several recipes
using pecans you can try.
