Useful and fun-to-know information, although I'm way too thrifty to throw out old spices and herbs. If I think they are using their flavor (the taste test), I just add more. Thanks Zesty.

As to know when they expire - it is a general rule of thumb that dried herbs and spices lose a lot of their pungency after 4-6 months. It is better off to buy in small quantities and use often. @OhSheglows – You should store your fresh herbs in the fridge for sure…. you can store your spices in a cool dark cupboard.

I have a question- how do you know if your herbs and spices have past their fresh date? I know most people have them in their cupboards for YEARS sometimes. How long do they last? Great post!
