How to Store Dry Fruits for Maximum Freshness

Proper storage can dramatically extend the shelf life of your dry fruits and nuts. Keep them in airtight containers away from direct sunlight and moisture, and consider refrigerating oilier nuts like walnuts and cashews to prevent them from turning rancid. Most dried fruits will stay fresh for 2-3 months at room temperature, or much longer if refrigerated. Buying in smaller batches more frequently is also a great way to always enjoy peak freshness.
