Pumpkin seeds are best stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain their freshness and prevent them from becoming rancid. Raw pumpkin seeds can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 months. Roasted pumpkin seeds should be stored in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. Freezing pumpkin seeds is also an option for long-term storage; place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to a year.
