The life of spices
I understand that most unused spices should be discarded after one year of living in the pantry. My question is do "whole" spices unground spices have a longer shelf life when stored away from heat and direct light?

Hi Edward - Yes, whole spices should last about 2-3 years. But, don't just throw away your ground spices after a year either. Try toasting them first - if they are aromatic, you can still use them for a little bit longer. Best, The Milk Street Team
