Increase their shelf life by storing them in the fridge or freezer. Cold temperatures will slow the oxidation, and prevent the nuts and seeds from going rancid.
Always store nuts and seeds in a cool, dry place. Exposure to heat and direct sunlight will speed up spoilage and break down its healthy oils.

Remove excess air from storage bags using a zip lock or vacuum-sealed bag to prevent oxidation. This is ideal for bulk storage and helps maintain long-term freshness.
Lightly roasting nuts and seeds removes excess moisture and prevents mould growth. Ensure they are completely cooled before storing them.
