Storage of all forms of almonds in fresh and dry conditions (Maintaining almond quality during long-term storage under ambient conditions is a challenge in emerging export markets, such as China, which can have widely varying temperatures and relative humidities, depending on season and region). A long-term storage study published in the Journal of Food Science evaluated the shelf life quality of raw almond kernels, blanched kernels and sliced blanched kernels stored for at least 18 months under controlled environmental conditions (including abusive ones).
A shelf study conducted by U., S. Army Natick researchers demonstrated that various forms of almonds (raw, roasted, blanched, sliced) can have a shelf life of three years when packaged in optimal packages (vacuum tri-laminated aluminum bags). Almonds are delivered to the handler for sizing, sorting and sorting, and then stored in containers or other bulk containers under controlled conditions before being shipped or processed. For container shipments to foreign markets, in-shell almonds are usually packed in bags.
Almonds with natural shell are packed in cardboard boxes or bulk fiber containers, depending on the product and volume. Chopped and roasted almonds require more protection against moisture and oxygen. Almonds keep the best quality for about 6 months in the pantry or about 12 months in the fridge. Roasted almonds have a slightly shorter storage time.
At room temperature, shelled almonds can last much longer than shelled ones. You can safely store them for up to two years. Without the shell, they will last only a few months at room temperature. In the freezer, they last indefinitely, while in the fridge they will be fresh and safe to eat for up to two years.
Almonds have natural antioxidants that promote long shelf life. In fact, they can retain their quality longer than many other nuts and can be moved from one year to the next while maintaining certain safeguards and controlled conditions. To extend the shelf life of roasted products, packaging is crucial. Starting with raw almonds, they can last fresh for up to a year or even longer if properly stored.
When it comes to almond snacks, take a look at the expiration date on the label. These should last about 2 to 4 weeks past the expiration date. Salmonella outbreaks due to raw almonds have also been reported in Australia (200) and Sweden (201). If you're looking for a way to use lots of almonds quickly, I have two slightly unusual ideas for you to consider.
As for their shelf life, due to the oil content of almonds, storing them in the fridge in an airtight container is a good idea to get the most out of almonds. Almonds freeze perfectly well, and freezing is the recommended storage method if you want yours to last as long as possible. Because of these interactions, the almond shelf life guide should specify the product and storage conditions. Once the almonds have been properly harvested, shelled and dried, it's time to find the best storage option to keep the almonds fresh and safe for consumption.
Chopped almonds are usually packed in cardboard boxes with a plastic liner or bulk fiber containers with a plastic liner, the plastic liner providing an important moisture barrier. In summer it's a little warmer, but the almonds stay there for a few years without any problem, as long as they are in dry, drafty, cool and shady places. That means you'll now have to decide if you want to remove the shells or keep the almonds in shell. You can also use a fruit carton or plastic box, but make sure it has some ventilation, as shelled almonds should be kept in a dark, drafty environment, away from heat and moisture.
Almonds last longer than other nuts because they contain some phytochemical antioxidants that protect nuts. When making this nut milk, remember that homemade almond milk only lasts a couple of days, so don't overdo it. Once again, rancidity will most likely occur, and you will only find out about it after digging one of those almonds. .
