Storage
Melon seeds properly stored with the shells can last for very long periods of time. It is best stored in air-tight containers. This is to keep out weevils and moisture. If the melon seeds are shelled, they do not last as long because in this state, it is easier for them to pick up moisture and become mouldy.
Ground melon seeds should be used immediately but if stored in very cold temperatures, it can last up to a month and still retain its taste.
