Roasted cashews can last for varying durations depending on whether they are unopened or opened, and on storage conditions.
Shelf Life of Roasted Cashews
Here's a breakdown of how long you can expect roasted cashews to last:
- Unopened: Most commercially packaged roasted cashews have a "best by" date, which is typically 6 months to 1 year from the date of packaging, when stored in a cool, dry pantry.
- Opened (Pantry): Once opened, roasted cashews will generally last about 2 weeks in the pantry.
- Opened (Refrigerated): To extend their shelf life, you can store opened roasted cashews in the refrigerator for about 1 month.
It is important to store cashews properly in an airtight container to prevent them from going rancid or absorbing moisture.
