You can use these shelled walnuts directly from the package. For baking, they can be chopped or left whole, depending on the recipe. They are often toasted lightly before use to enhance their flavor and crispness. Toasting can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a moderate oven for a few minutes. Be careful not to burn them, as they can turn bitter quickly. They are also delicious stirred into yogurt or oatmeal.

For longer storage, refrigeration is recommended to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming rancid. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption.
