Tiger nuts can be stored differently depending on their form. Dried tiger nuts should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place like a pantry to prevent them from becoming rancid or attracting moisture. Tiger nut flour also benefits from this type of storage. Tiger nut milk or horchata needs to be refrigerated after opening and typically lasts for 5-7 days. If you have fresh tiger nuts, you can freeze them to extend their shelf life for several months.
