Do not expose them to warmth or direct light during storage. The warmer the storage, the faster the seeds or nuts will turn rancid.\n\n== Storing nuts ==\n\nNuts are best stored in their shells whenever possible.\n\nMost nuts will keep for up to 6 months if stored in their original shells in a cool place.\n\nNuts can be frozen to keep them fresh longer.\n\nIf nuts are not stored in their shells, keep them in an airtight container, away from direct light.\n\nIf chopped, flaked or ground, use within 4 to 6 weeks.\n\n== Storing seeds ==\n\nKeep seeds stored in an airtight container away from direct light.\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Food storage]]\n[[Category:Nuts]]"}
