Heat, exposure to oxygen, moisture and added oils will quicken the rate of rancidity for nuts and seeds. If you keep your nuts in an airtight container in cool, dry conditions (this can be a cool, dry, cupboard or your refrigerator*) it will extend the shelf life. However, like most plant-grown foods, the fresher, the better! These conditions are appropriate for dried fruits and trail mixes also. We highly recommend storing walnuts in cold conditions as they have a naturally high oil content.

*Note: Container must be airtight if storing product in fridge or freezer. Nuts will absorb unwanted moisture or odors if exposed.
