1800 cals...How much Salt? How ya gonna process all that fiber?

Why don't you #10 can them? Or Mylar bag them.

Sure they are "going bad" now, but as soon as they are sealed, they will be just as almost fresh 20 years from now as they are now.

Nuts won't last, even sealed in mylar with O2 absorbers. Freezing is the only real option for longevity.

i have plenty other stuff to go with, just will be nice to have a 5.00 can of premium honey roast caschews during shtf ....even better knowing you paid 99cents for em

It is the oil in them right? That makes them go bad... just like brown rice?

If you can get 3 years out of them, you're probably setting a record. But I would buy them up like mad and just consider them a high rotation item.

Exactly, and their oils are of the more fragile nature. Some oils store better than others. Nut oils don't store well in general.

Almonds seem to keep pretty well though. I don't know if that has to do with their oil itself, or perhaps how it's encapsulated in the nut. Perhaps in "cells" that don't allow much O2 to penetrate them? Strictly speculation on my part.

 

[Crutch]

I didn't know that. Thanks guys.

You can freeze cans of nuts? How long do they last?

I can do better:

2500 calories for $1.00.....A double cheeseburger at McDonalds. :

Ah man, hanging out at the Darkside has so corrupted me. :

Seriously though, I agree with MikeK: nuts are great but they don't have that wonderful of a shelf life. They go rancid in 6-7 months if they are not refrigerated due to the high fat content in them.

Yep , the oils go rancid.

Ummm, I think the idea is that this isn't the only food prep he's doing.

When Bartell Drugs had Blue Diamond almonds cans on sale for only $1.79 ( reg. $3.49) I stocked up because the "best by" date was well into 2014.

They'll last for years, frozen. 3-5 minimum, maybe longer.

ROTFLMAO, man, thats funny:

 

[Tictactowing]

Nuts might not last forever, but I am sure a hungry squirrel or other animal may want it, and you will be eating like a king.

I just opened a can of peanuts 3 years past the exp date and they taste nice and fresh. They were in my camper for a couple years.
