1. Honey

Honey does not mold or deteriorate thanks to its low humidity level and antibacterial properties. It can, however, crystallize over time. If this happens, you can simply warm it gently to liquefy it.

2. White rice

White rice can last indefinitely if stored in a dry, airtight place. Be careful, however, not to mix with brown rice, which will not survive past its expiration date.

3. Salt

Unsurprisingly, salt is a natural mineral that never degrades. However, since it can absorb moisture, it's recommended to store it in an airtight container.

4. Sugar (white, brown, powdered)

Sugar does not go moldy, but it can harden if exposed to moisture.

5. White vinegar

Good news! White vinegar never deteriorates thanks to its acidity.

6. Cornstarch

Simply store cornstarch in a dry place and it will stay good indefinitely.

7. Dried beans

It's unbelievable, but dried beans can be eaten for decades. However, since they can harden over time, you'll just need to cook them longer to regain their desired texture.

8. Maple syrup

If your jar of maple syrup is properly sealed, it can last for years. Once opened, it should be refrigerated to prevent mold.

9. Instant coffee

Instant coffee retains its taste and properties if stored in a dry environment.

10. Dried pasta

Dried pasta can last for years as long as it is kept away from moisture.
