Spices deteriorate in quality much much faster than you think, particularly ground spices. Chuck it and replace it. Cinnamon is cheap and much better when it's not super old.

Well sure, almost everything is buy it for life if you never use it.

Guys I just found a cup of yogurt in my fridge from the Bush presidency! #BIFL

Where can I buy this aged cinnamon?

I am using it up in oatmeal. has some flavor still. I'm cheap.

Got too much in 2007, and taking a long time to use. It still has some flavor.

That 550 gr size would only last 12 weeks in our household.... 😂

Shitpost? Ground spices lose potency real quick.

Too cheap to buy more cinnamon?! What the hell are you doing on BIFL, where socks base price at $20?! Lol

i wish i still had the photo my nana has some juniper berries which are dated to go bad in 1972😬😂

Meh, I'm using cloves from 1997 and they lost about 10% of their flavor.

and my ex officio was $26 a pair

nope. I used it twice today, oat meal and later french toast.

What dishes do you use that much cinnamon? Alot of indian food?

No, topping for fruits and fruit salad, in plain joghurt, in coffee, in semolina.

Which Bush?

Why would you chuck it? Even if you don’t want to eat it, it can be used for a bunch of non-edible purposes. Off the top of my head a body scrub, sink cleaner, or salt dough Christmas ornaments. It also is a decent ant repellent at entry points.

Spices aren’t buy it for life they last about 6 months at best.

If you ever buy a large container like this separate it into a smaller shaker and vacuum seal the rest. Unless you use a Costco amount of cinnamon for whatever reason.

Go buy a new cinnamon and try them side by side.

If you honestly don’t see the merit after that then I it can’t be helped.

Yeah this isn’t the type of thing that can sit around…you really shouldn’t get ground cinnamon at all.

BIFL is cheap. Quality goods tend to have prices that reflect the time to design the product and source quality ingredients.

As such, the individual items may be expensive, but you're buying for a much longer time. My darn tough socks are expensive, but they have already lasted a long time and they still have a warranty.

Yes, but throwing away things that are still usable and used regularly isn't a good behavior. If OP still enjoys it, they still enjoy what flavor is left.

New will obviously be better for spices, but use what one has first as long as it's acceptable. Acceptability is in the taste of the user.

Missing my point I think dude.

You've just blown my mind. Didn't even think of those uses for it. Yes, absolutely, those are all valid uses for old cinnamon!

Our then your wrong lol
