Like all nuts, pine nuts can go rancid. Always store nuts in the fridge, preferably in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out and the top fastened by a tie or clip. The plastic bag is also easier to store in the fridge than rigid containers.
Actually yes, any nut can technically go bad. the oils on the nut go rancid after about 6 months or earlier unless you freeze them
Nuts don't go stale per se, but they can turn rancid. Most tree nuts, as well as peanuts, have a high fat content. It's the lipids in nuts that "turn" (go bad). Rancid nuts have a soapy, bitter taste.
When nuts are roasted it causes the oils to go rancid. Go for the non roasted nuts, they're better for you!
Yes. They can turn rancid because of the high fat content. Light, metal, heat and humidity tend to shorten the shelf life of nuts. If you plan to keep them for a long time, try storing them in a plastic container in the refrigerator or freezer. http://www.ochef.com/179.htm
