How long do raw peanuts last before starting to spoil?

Raw peanuts can last for about 6 to 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place. If kept in the refrigerator or freezer, their shelf life can extend to a year or more. Signs of spoilage include an off smell, mold, or a bitter taste. To maximize freshness, it’s best to store them in an airtight container.
