How to Recognise Stale or Rancid Nuts
Smell, taste and texture are your main tools for checking whether nuts are still at their best.
Even the best nuts eventually go past their ideal moment if stored badly or kept too long.
1. Trust your nose
A paint-like, old-oil smell is a sign that the natural fats have oxidised. VietnamPrime nuts are selected and packed to delay this, but storage at home still matters.
2. Feel the texture
If nuts are soft, rubbery or oddly chewy, they may have absorbed moisture or simply be old.
