How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining almonds fresh, store them in a cool, dry place. An airtight container is best to prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Once opened, they can be refrigerated to extend their freshness, especially if you live in a warm climate.
