Spices and herbs do not spoil but they do lose their strength. Older seasonings will have little to no impact on flavor and aroma. A few tips to consider when working with spices are: Do not sprinkle spices and herbs directly from the jar into a steaming pot. The steam will cause moisture inside the jar, severely reducing the useful life of the product. Make sure your measuring utensil is dry before inserting it into the jar.

One reason honey is called a "miracle food", is because in its natural form, it is fully preserved. No organisms can live in it and the product will not decompose. However, if the moisture content is raised above 20%, yeasts can begin to grow and cause fermentation. Honey can also change texture over time, and separate out into solids (glucose) and liquids (fructose and moisture). Stirring the product will mix up the components and return it to its former creamed state. See similar questions...

We have a no spoilers-policy in #startrek, meaning that if even one person objects to a certain Trek episode/plot twist being discussed the discussion about that must stop.
