Buying nuts that are still in the shell can save you a ton of money. Those ready-to-eat shelled nuts come at a higher price. However, it’s also less convenient to wield a nutcracker and crack each and every nut. Instead, try this nifty hack that’ll come with a lot less hassle.
All you need to do is stir up a glass of salt water and let the nuts sit in there for a few minutes. Take them out, and the shells should come right off.
