So does my wife, she keeps my nuts for me safe and secure... Seriously, the only drawback with some types of nuts is the oil content hence they have a tendency to go rancid after a while. Even if you do dehydrate them (the Chinese have a way to do it with peanuts and they call it Sungsong, pronounced with a long u and long o sound) and are able to store it for years

SungSong is sun-dried, dry roasted with sand. No oil is used. Make sure that the nuts are in their shells when doing this.

I worry about how I have my nuts stored. I try not to have them stored for more than about 12 months. I vacuum pack them in bags as they seem so much fresher that way. I would really like to keep them in the frig or freezer too but I don’t have space there. I put some in when I have space.
So most websites say vacuum packing nuts extends their shelf life, but one site says not to as there is the chance of botulism. Previously I had thought they had little enough moisture to be not a botulism risk, but I’m not sure. They need to be under 10% moisture to be safe. I’m finding it hard to find any official information on this.
On the side that makes me think that it is likely to be ok, is that apart from raw cashew cheese I can’t find any reported cases of botulism from nuts.
Any thoughts on this?

what about roasted nuts? does the oil content drop when roasted? Thos could be an option. I love roasted almonds.
