Cashews
Cashews are more stable than most other nuts but should still be stored in sealed containers in the refrigerator to prevent them from turning rancid.
Most cashews are steamed in order to remove the nuts from their hard shells. This is true even for those labeled as "raw" in bulk foods section of grocery stores. Truly raw cashews can be found online and in some health food stores.
