[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dry spices don't "expire". I would assume they lose flavor as they get older.[/quote] This. They are less flavoring, which is the entire point of spices. But they are rarely "bad" in that they will make you sick. My leafy spices (oregano, thyme, parsley, basil) I tend to use up on a regular schedule, so I don't have an issue with those are much. But the powders definitely sit for longer, especially something like nutmeg that I am using on 1/4-1/2 of a teaspoon at a time while doing holiday baking. If something is obviously old or doesn't smell fragrant I may put it on my list to replace.[/quote]
