Nuts go rancid because they contain healthy fats that are prone to oxidation.
When nuts are left out in the open, they are exposed to light, air and heat. This causes the fats to break down.
This oxidation makes the nuts to taste off and they lose their nutrient value.
This process speeds up in warmer climate.
We can store nuts in freezer.
The cold and dark environment found in freezer slows down the oxidation process.
Make sure to store them away from strong smelling foods.
