Foods that almost never expire

White rice - While brown rice can only last around six months due to its oils, white rice can be kept indefinitely.

Honey - One of the only foods that actually lasts forever—and it’s natural! The oldest honey ever found was 5500 years old.

Maple syrup - While fake maple syrup does have a shelf life, the real stuff does not. As long as it remains unopened, you can keep this around forever.

Canned coconut milk - If powdered milk isn’t your thing, try canned coconut milk. Cook it into your food or use it for your baking needs. It will last for more than a year.

Red wine - Not all wine is created equal. While commercial wines may last from one to three years, fine wine will stick around for decades.

Dried beans - While they may not be the tastiest things after an extended period, beans are still good to eat 30 years later, according to studies.

Olives - Good for anything from appetizers to martinis, unopened jars of olives have a shelf life of up to three years.

Hard liquor - If stored properly though, your hard liquor can last as long as you need it to, until the moment is right.

Sugar - Stored in an airtight container (as long as you keep water and bugs out) you can sweeten your food for as long as you like.

Spam - One of the least shocking entries on this list, spam is made to last. However, it may surprise you that it may not last forever.

Vinegar - The acidic components of vinegar make it self-preserving, so its shelf life has been categorized by the Vinegar Institute as “almost indefinite.”

Vanilla extract - This delicious baking staple has just enough alcohol in it to keep the bacteria away, ensuring an almost indefinite shelf life.

Protein powder - Lucky for you, it has been estimated that whey protein can last up to 18 months.

Cornstarch - A key ingredient to numerous recipes, cornstarch kept in a cool, dry place can be used forever. It’s a good investment for all of your thickening needs.

Coconut oil - In addition to numerous other uses, coconut oil is also one of the better cooking oils, as it has an infinite shelf life.
