Does fenugreek ever go bad? Asking for a friend. #fenugreek #askingforafriend
@NuanceRhymesWithOrange If they still smell like fenugreek, I would still use (I use really old spices sometimes, I'm probably not a reliable source)

@stephanie @NuanceRhymesWithOrange I agree, a smell test should tell you, and looking closely for any signs of mould or foreign visitors. Noses are pretty good at detecting bad things.

Funny, so many cooking shows say "throw away older spices because they being to lose their flavour!"

…but they never point out that you can just use more until it tastes the way you want. Especially when recipes are calling for a quarter tsp or something – twice as much is no big deal.

@ottaross
We bought some spices from the Costco business center so we'll definately be doing this "just use more" trick
