Tonight on NewsAction 41: That nutmeg in your cabinet MAY BE TOO OLD. And the same goes for your coriander and tarragon.
I am so going to test this out on a package of cloves I am sure has been with me since the mid-90's. I love technology.

I think my parents have spices in their cabinet from the Reagan era. I thought these things just came with the house.

We still have spices we received in a spice rack as a wedding gift...24 years ago. How long can tarragon last?
