Storage of Nuts?

[MikeMartial]

I regularly use chopped almonds or walnuts on my oatmeal and salads...but a question came up the other day on the proper way to store them.

I've been just putting them in a sealed container in the pantry...but should one refridgerate them?

I don't refrigerate mine & they are fine.....I store them the same way...

I always thought that was one of the benfits of nuts. You could store them in the pantry and they would last decent long time..

i buy my nuts in bulk (aka larger amounts but in a sealed container)
since i am type a blood and more sensitive to rancid oils i keep them in sealed containers but i divid them as to what i will use in a few days and those are kept in the frig
anything i won't be able to consume that week goes in the freezer

I keep mine in the fridge... I recently just had my oatmeal go rancid so now I'm worried about that, too.

How does oatmeal go rancid? It's practically 100% moisture free. Do you live in a topical or humid area?

I live in a very hot area, the oats are the steel cut kind, and ... well... I dunno. All of a sudden one day they started to taste really strange. And I thought maybe it was normal but then I bought new oats and they are off-taste and smell free.

Oh, and another thing I like in my oat meal is a tb of almond butter. yum!

sorry about that last bit - in my head I was replying to two separate posts (re: taste for oats)

I store my nuts in the freezer in a ziplock bag. I only buy natural pnut butter, once that's opened (and stirred) that gets stored in the refrigerator. I store my oats in the pantry but I do keep my rice in the fridge (I have no idea why ... I have the room and have had a weevil problem in the past ...)
