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.
The good news about spices is that they virtually last forever. Itâs rare, if not impossible, for a spice to go âbad.â The biggest threat of time is that it causes spices to lose potency and flavor. Ground cinnamon thatâs three years old will not carry as much flavor as cinnamon thatâs only three months old.
