Where can I buy unshelled nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil
nuts) in the Denver/Boulder, CO area? I haven't seen them lately
anywhere at Whole Foods, Wild Oats, King Soopers or Safeway's.

Thanks

those stores all have them in the fall. Try calling around to a chain
called Mt. Nut and Fruit and ask.

You should know that unshelled nuts get faster rancid than those in the
shell. Therefore I always prefer to buy the "complete" stuff and crack them
myself just shortly before I need them.

Do you have a Trader Joe's? They have an incredible

Do you mean nuts that are still in the shell or nuts
which have been removed from the shell?

I keep shelled nuts in my freezer. No problem.

Most stores have nuts in the shell mostly at the holidays - and then
they're in the produce section, in my area, anyway. I bought them
ahead one year (to use on pinecone decorations) and the mice found
them in my storage area and ate all the almonds. They couldn't quite
get through the pecan shells, though - too big and too slippery for
those little mousey teeth. LOL.)

Guys, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I got my terminology backwards. I meant
nuts STILL IN THE SHELL. Where can I buy them in the Denver Metro?

Blimey. I would have thought almonds were much harder to get into.
But then, I use nutcrackers, not mouse-teeth.
(perhaps that is what I am doing wrong, I shall have to patent a type
of mouse-tooth almond opener some time)

They're also readily available in bulk foods stores. I am referring to
New Jersey, but perhaps the same is true in your area.

Here in Ohio I only see them in ordinary grocery stores around the winter holiday's.
