You can choose to store either shelled or unshelled almonds. That means that you will now need to decide should you remove the shells or should you keep your almonds in shells. The answer to this depends on how many nuts you have and what you plan to do with them in the future. If your intention is to keep them for a longer time, then keep the shells on your nuts.
If you intend to keep the nuts in the fridge or freezer, then it is not such an important decision — you can refrigerate or freeze nuts in both forms, shelled or unshelled. The only difference is the amount of space they are taking.
If you intend to keep your shelled nuts at room temperature , the best and safest option is to store them in airtight mason jars as in the below photo. Display them on your kitchen table or shelf as they look very decorative.

If you decided to unshell your almonds it may be due to shortage of space or if you just bought some unshelled almonds and would like to store them safely for a longer periods, here are the options:.
