Shake some out, crush them in your hands and see if you can smell anything. Ground spices generally stay fresh about 6 months to 1 year while dried herbs and whole spices last a little longer, maybe 2 years at best. If the spices you purchased are any older than that, they probably won't be that great for cooking. Good Luck!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186957111184909716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-38537042748733063702008-09-13T20:16:00.000-05:002008-09-13T20:16:00.000-05:00Wow, you hit the jackpot!
