Whole spices can be kept longer --- for up to about four years for unopened containers; less for opened ones.

The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - after purchasing, keep fresh whole garlic in a cool, dry, area. How long does fresh garlic last at room temperature? Properly stored, whole raw garlic will last for about 3 to 5 months at normal room temperature. To maximize the shelf life of garlic, store it in a moderately warm (55Â°- 60Â°F) area; at higher room temperatures, the shelf life of garlic will be shorter. To further maximize the shelf life of garlic, store it a container that allows for air circulation, such as a wire-mesh basket, a paper bag, or a garlic keeper with holes.
