I have picked over 150 lbs of pecans this year with the hope of selling some. I have heard that pecans have good yrs ever other year so I am hoping if I don't sell many to keep till next yr. I have seen them on Craigslist for $1.50 a lb and I won't sell them for less than $3.50-$4.00lb. I know this year is an over productive year but it is hard work to get out there and pick them up. I was wondering if anyone would know how long they keep in the shell in a cool dark place like under the bed? I know I read they pick up smells easy so I would have to becareful of that as far as not storing them in my cedar lined closet.
I read they keep in the freezer for 2-4 years but must be sealed from any odors in there also. I would rather not freeze them as I have more room in the house than freezer.
Thanks ahead of time for the answer.
Blessings,
Sandy
