Spices

I get asked all the time how long should one keep spices in their cabinet – so I can up with the list below for you to enjoy. If you keep spices too long they lose their flavor – so make sure to throw out any that you have had too long.

Seasoning blends: 18 Months

Herbs: 2 Years

Ground spices: 2.5 Years

Whole spices (such as cinnamon sticks ): 3.5 years

Extracts: 4 years – vanilla has a much longer life of at least 5 years
