10 Benefits Of Spicy Foods
Spicy Foods Benefit #5: Long Shelf Life
One great benefit of spices is their long shelf life. Often, we can keep spices for a month or even years in our spice cabinet and they can still be used without causing any harm. Of course, not all spices can be treated the same and different spices have different timelines until they begin to lose their fresh taste.
Whole spices can last up to 4 years and ground spices can last 2-3 years. If you still have the spice after this timeframe chances are it is still okay for use, however it may just lose some of its flavour. Instead of throwing spices out, they can be used around your house and garden. Some spices can be used in home-made soap, sachets, aroma therapy, or can be sprinkled in a garden to keep critters out.
