How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the pumpkin seeds fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale. If you live in a warm climate, refrigeration can further extend their shelf life and preserve their quality.
