To maximize the shelf life of black cumin seeds, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly stored, black cumin seeds can maintain their flavor and potency for up to a year. Avoid storing them near moisture, as this can lead to clumping and spoilage. Check periodically for any signs of mold or off odors.
