Whole cashews should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. For short-term storage (a few weeks), room temperature is fine. To extend their shelf life to several months, refrigerate them. For even longer storage (up to a year), freezing is best. Be sure to protect cashews from moisture and strong odors, as they can absorb these easily.
