Almonds, like all nuts, contain fats which can go rancid over time. Store almonds in the pantry in containers. If you do not use the almonds within two months put them in the refrigerator to keep fresh. Nuts have a bitter odor when they turn rancid. Always check the expiration date on the bag or can before eating.

Prompt refrigeration of perishables is very important, but so is proper handling of food prior to storage. Foods should be separated to avoid cross-contamination. They should be clean, and they should have been cooked properly. Even after doing the above, there are important things you should remember. Outside temperature is important, leaving food in the car on a hot day can give spoilage and bacteria a head start. Leftovers should be cleared and stored promptly. Get a thermometer that can check your freezer and fridge for correct temperatures.
