Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for dried macadamia kernels (bulk storage). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Temperature

at or below 15°C (59°F)

Packaging

In-shell: Ventilated bags or containers; Kernels: Airtight containers or nitrogen-flushed packaging

Dried kernels must be protected from moisture and oxygen (moisture-impervious, vacuum or nitrogen-flushed packaging), because moisture gain destroys crispness and shelf-life and oxygen exposure causes rancidity. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
