Sure it could go bad. It’s a living thing and like all the other living beings has its own storage conditions. So, it mainly depends on storage conditions, and as it’s repetitively been said, it will last for almost a year or so in the refrigerator or the freezer; it will last like 3 to 4 months of shelf life. If your seeds smell like rancid, you could get rid of them. If you see sprouts on your seeds you have two choices of one: immediately plant them in your farm or toss them.

Hemp seed has a great shelf life but it goes bad after a long time. Once opened, expect the hemp seeds to last for 3-6 months but it can last up to 14 months if unopened. The secret for long-lasting hemp seeds is keeping them in a cool dark place where no moisture can enter. They can also be placed in a freezer but make sure to put them in a plastic bag.

If you buy a bag of hemp seeds, you can expect them to last around 12 months, providing you store them in a refrigerator or freezer. However, if you keep them in a pantry, this reduced their shelf-life to around 3-4 months.

Yes they can if not stored properly!

What kind of environment should you keep them in?

Storing hemp seeds in a cool, dry place is recommended. Also, don’t open the container of hemp seeds until you plan to use them regularly, otherwise they’ll go bad within a few months. If you want your hemp seeds to last longer, store them in an airtight container in the freezer.

O yes they can! If they smell rancid, throw them out!
Once opened hemp seeds will last about up to 4 months in a pantry or a year in the fridge or freezer. but yes, once bad – get rid of them! They will make you sick!

So, for hemp seeds and/or shelled hearts that you’re keeping to eat or use for cooking/baking, if you store them in a cool, dry place, they have a pretty long shelf life. If they’re exposed to moisture, they may sour. If you’re wanting to ensure long-term storage of an opened package, you can always freeze them. Like anything, use your judgment and don’t rely solely on a date on a bag (:
For seeds you’re planning to use to grow plants, like any other seed, the longer you keep it, the lower the probability you have for it to sprout. It’s best, if you plan to use seeds from previous crops, to store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark environment.

Hemp seeds contain vitamin E that makes protects it from oxidation and rancidity. It is best for about 14 months on the shelf and can last long if kept in the freezer. It can go bad if you keep it open on the table. A lot of heat is also bad whether you keep it above your fridge or next to a toaster in the kitchen. The right temperature should be consistent with less than 15C (60F) for good long term storage.
