Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: When buying nuts…

1. Buy fresh, new crop nuts. Nuts are stored all year long. Sigona’s waits until the new crop starts in Oct./Nov. to bring in the fresh crop so all the nuts we carry are fresh.

2. Nuts have great health benefits, and the majority are high in protein, fiber and good fats. Nuts are great roasted, flavored, salted, baked and raw. All nuts are great, though organic (if available), raw nuts, meaning they’re not altered or heated, contain more valuable enzymes that help kick start the digestion process, and are the healthiest way to go.
3. Store in a dark cool place. If you are storing long term, three months or more, the freezer is best.
