Store peanuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry, to maintain freshness for several months. Shelled peanuts can be refrigerated to extend their shelf life, lasting up to a year. For long-term storage, peanuts can be frozen for over a year; ensure they are in a freezer-safe bag or container to prevent freezer burn. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods as peanuts easily absorb odors.
