Anyone know how long garam masala stays good for before it goes bad?

Anyone know how long garam masala stays good for before it goes bad?" Hey folks! I've had a jar of garam masala sitting in my pantry for a while now, and I'm not sure if it's still good to use. Does anyone know its shelf life before it loses its potency or flavor? Thanks for the help!

Hey! Garam masala can stay good for about 2 to 3 years if stored properly in a cool, dark place. However, it may start to lose its flavor and potency over time, especially after the first year. To check if it’s still good, give it a smell; if it has a strong aroma, it’s likely still fine to use. If it smells weak or stale, it’s probably time to replace it. Enjoy your cooking!
