Pomegranate seeds are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps maintain their moisture and prevents them from drying out. They can typically last up to 5-7 days when refrigerated. For longer storage, pomegranate seeds can be frozen. Spread them out on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Frozen seeds can last up to several months and are great for adding to smoothies or desserts.
