How should I store my raw unpasteurized almonds? And how long will they last?

I keep mine in the refrigerator. They should last a few months that way. They are delicious!

in the refrig. probably several months but you should soak them for 24 hours, blanch them, and eat them. Dehydrate if you have one, they get crunchy

I store mine in masons jars and have had them for weeks with no problem. Still fresh.

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.

I store mine in the refrigerator and they seem to stay very fresh, they should be good for about a year.

I store mine in a room, dark, cool...almonds are very durable normally, but you have purchased unpasteurized ones which need extra care if your not going to finish them off in a 2-3 weeks time like me I would definitely think about storing them in the fridge where they will last for months with no ill affects, this is very common sense advice.

These are wonderful almonds. I soak them for 48 hours in brine to release the enzyme inhibitors, then rinse and place in the dehydrator for 2 days. After that I place in an airtight glass container...the kind with the locking latch and rubber grommet. I eat the almonds in 4-5 weeks so I can't tell you how long they stay fresh. The dehydrating is key to helping them last longer tho...and you should really consider soaking them for even greater health benefits!

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

I store them on a shelf in the pantry. They come in a reclosable bag with a 'best by' date of 10/14. They won't last long, they're delicious!

I keep them in an air tight container and they last for at least a couple of months. They lose a little bit of moisture but all in all, they are still good! I bought mine in early December and they are still good today!

I store mine in the freezer. I would imagine if they are sealed properly they will keep Indefinitley, mine have been in the freezer for a year or so and are as good as the day I put them there.

I store mine in a jar filled with heavy salted water in the refrigerator. I change the water every couple of months and have keep them fresh for approximately 2 years. If they have a very strong odor they are beyond there useful life.

I would refrigerate them until you want to use them. I've had them all sitting out for about 4 months in the carrier and some have lost their flavor

I keep them in the fridge once they are open, but I would think if you seal them well, maybe in a different container, you could keep in the pantry. Really no need to refrigerate.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

YOU CAN STORE THEM IN YOUR SUGAR CANISTER FOR ALMOST FOREVER. THEY WILL DRY OUT. THEY FLAVOR YOUR SUGAR AND SCENT IT SO NICELY. DON'T THROW THEM OUT WHEN YOU FINISH THE SUGAR, JUST ADD MORE SUGAR; I HAVE HAD THEM FOR YEARS. YOU CAN STILL SCRAPE THEM FOR YOUR BAKING. (separate them from the pack, of course, so they are surrounded by the sugar).

I keep the unopened packages on a cupboard. Once opened I store the bag in the fridge - but I bought a large bag and didn't eat them quick enough and the got moldy - but that was after a few weeks in the fridge!

by law, California almonds have to be flash pasteurized. this means they are technically not raw, but the inside of the nut supposedly does not get "cooked" in this process.

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

the ones i get from Amazon are steamed , blanched or pasteurized and are allowed to be labeled raw-pure raw is illegal to be sold unless purchased directly from farms -see Sunfood or Bremmer Foods being sold directly from the farm in Calif -Almonds from abroad can be sold totally pure raw and health food stores and some whole food super markets carry them

There is no other info that what you see, either here at Amazon or at their web site. Try their contact info: Call (713) 661-2972 and/or E-mail:spicyworldofusa@gmail.com I don't even store the open bag in the refrigerator/freezer here in central Texas and I have not had a problem with them (4 lbs only last me about 3 months, I eat a lot of them each day). They do not seem to be any worst or better that all the other almonds that I have purchased in the past (including bulk at the local stores and the Diamond brand). I would be more interested in finding out how these, and all the other brands, pasteurize their nuts. I found this comment by another person: "I am just learning about raw foods and in a workshop I went to, we were told that ALL almonds from California do have to be pasturized by law, but that it is only in California. We were told that you can buy truly raw almonds from out of state, which of course means buying online. They also do not have to lable the package that the almonds, or any other nut from California, are pasturized. We were also told that you cannot buy directly from the grower because they cannot sell nuts without going thru their process. " Here is another take: http://detoxinista.com/2012/08/are-your-almonds-truly-raw/ And another: http://www.organicpastures.com/products_almonds.html Good Luck, Steve

It depends on how you store them, and how much of a perfectionist you are. I vacuum seal them in quart mason jars as soon as I receive them, and store them in a low cool cabinet. They are fine for 6 months.

Refrigerate ASAP , good for as long as the expiration date provided on the bottle☺️

I keep mine in the freezer; any nuts and seeds with high oil content can go rancid. I've read they can be kept in a dark pantry for 3 months, refrigerated 6 months, freezer 12 months.
