I just bought six pounds of English walnuts from a local grower. The
label says they don't use pesticides or chemicals. Since it's going to
take me a while to get through six pounds, I'm guessing the freezer is
a good place to put them to stop little critters from hatching and to
stop the oil from turning rancid. Is this needed on both counts?

And I'm 99% sure that freezing won't really effect the crunchiness or
texture. Am I right on this one?

TIA,

Ken
