A baby African elephant weighs 200 pounds and stands about 3 feet tall at birth. Asian elephants are slightly smaller, though not by much.
Whole spices can be kept longer --- for up to about four years for unopened containers; less for opened ones. One of the best ways to tell if your spices and herbs are too old is to open the container and smell the contents. Weak or no aroma means tasteless food. Old spices and herbs do not add flavor to your food.
Maybe itâs been in a nice little ceramic garlic vessel for the last year. Maybe thereâs a few bulbs that have been hanging out on the top of your fridge for the past four months. Maybe thereâs a renegade peeled garlic clove under your kitchen table from last nightâs dinner prep. All very plausible. But are they still good? We can give you general guidelines for how long garlic will last. If you keep a whole head of garlic unpeeled it will last close to six months. (That is, if you store it properly. More on that later.) A single, unpeeled clove will last about three weeks. But once you take the skin off, garlic starts to degrade more quickly.
