Store sesame seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness. For longer shelf life, refrigerate or freeze them, especially if they are hulled or toasted, as they are more prone to rancidity. Always check for a fresh aroma before use, as sesame seeds can develop a stale or bitter taste over time.
