The storage method for sunflower seeds is as follows: 1. Sealed storage: Whether it is raw or cooked seeds, they need to be sealed during storage to avoid excessive contact with air. Guazi is a food that is relatively susceptible to moisture. If not stored properly, moisture may cause germination or mold. Therefore, it is recommended to use containers or bags with good sealing for storage
2. Storage environment: Melon seeds should be stored in a dry and cool place. For opened melon seeds, special attention should be paid to sealing to prevent moisture from entering. If possible, a self sealing bag can be placed outside the packaging bag to remove the air as much as possible and enhance the moisture-proof effect
3. Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight: Both high temperatures and direct sunlight can affect the quality and taste of melon seeds, and even lead to spoilage. Therefore, these unfavorable factors should be avoided during storage
In addition, if sunflower kernels have been shelled, ground, chopped, or oil pressed, it is recommended to keep them in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage. Meanwhile, containers or bags for storing sunflower seeds should be regularly inspected to ensure that there are no mice or pests present
The shelf life of sunflower seed kernels is limited, and even under appropriate storage conditions, they will gradually lose their flavor and nutritional value over time. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase in moderation according to demand and consume as soon as possible
