[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1438530, member: 1246"] 6 staples that last longer than you think...... 1. Vanilla. Because of its high alcohol content, it can keep indefinitely...although the flavor and aroma will be best within five years. 2. Vinegar. The high acidity acts as a natural preservative that thwarts germ growth. In some varieties, alterations or cloudiness may develop after time, but that doesn't affect taste or quality. 3. Worcestershire sauce. Like many wines, this sauce gets better with age. The flavor intensifies as the liquid evaporates. It should last for up to 10 years unopened and 2 to 3 years opened if stored in a cool dark place. 4. Salt. It's essentially a stone. Just as granite won't become infested with mold and bacteria, neither will your favorite edible 'rock star' condiment. 5. Dried pasta. If you cook and eat it after a decade, for instance, it may lose a bit of flavor, but unopened dry pasta is edible indefinitely. 6. Canned or dried beans. They'll be ready to cook even if they've been stashed in the corner of your pantry for years. Dried beans may need a bit more soaking after long periods of time.
