The Easy Way To Tell If Your Walnuts Are Rancid

Smell Test: Rancid walnuts have a strong, bitter, and unpleasant odor. Fresh walnuts should have a mild, nutty smell.

Taste Test: If they taste bitter, sour, or off in any way, they're likely rancid.

Texture Check: Rancid walnuts may feel softer or overly oily compared to fresh ones.

Discoloration: A change in color, like a yellow or dark brown hue, can indicate spoilage

Packaging: Walnuts stored in improperly sealed containers may spoil faster and go rancid.

Time Passed: Walnuts stored for more than 6 months may be more likely to go rancid.

Keep Them in the Fridge: Storing walnuts in the fridge helps preserve their freshness and prevent rancidity.
