How Should Nuts Be Stored?

It is important to store the nuts correctly to preserve their freshness. The storage method of nuts may vary depending on the type and processing method, but in general, these tips may be helpful:

Store your nuts in a sealed and airtight container. Thus, moisture, air, and light are effectively blocked to maintain the freshness of the nuts.

It is best to store your nuts in the refrigerator, especially if you live in a hot or humid environment. However, not all nuts are suitable for refrigerators. For example, oily nuts such as hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds can be stored in the refrigerator, while nuts such as pumpkin seeds and roasted peanuts can be stored at room temperature.

When putting nuts in the refrigerator, take care to store them in an airtight container. Otherwise, the nuts may absorb the surrounding odors and this may cause them to lose their freshness.

Avoid storing nuts in the freezer, as freezing can change the texture of the nuts and make them lose their freshness.

To preserve the freshness of roasted nuts, take care to consume them within a few weeks. Unroasted nuts can maintain their freshness for longer.

Signs of spoilage in nuts can be especially if they are moldy, hard, rancid, or tasteless. If you have such symptoms, avoid consuming nuts.
