Almonds are low in moisture and high in oil, giving them a naturally long shelf life when properly handled. Their freshness depends on three main factors: the nut’s natural properties, storage and transportation conditions, and packaging.
To preserve quality, almonds should be stored in cool, dry conditions—ideally below 10°C with low humidity. Proper packaging, such as vacuum-sealed or airtight containers, helps protect them from air, moisture, and pests.
With the right storage, almonds can maintain their flavor, texture, and nutritional value for months, making them a reliable, long-lasting food ingredient.
