I agree with Hillstep. Open the packet and if they smell rancid then chuck them. Nuts don't have as long a shelf life as dried fruit or powder-based products because of the natural oils in them.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

You will soon know if they have gone off. You can not mistake rancid nuts. I would try one and see how they taste.0

My mouth is immediately beneath my nose, so everything that goes in gets a "sniff test".If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5?
