Here are some foods that have no or really extended expiry dates.

Living in an age where everything eventually decays, it's comforting to know that some things last longer than we imagined. Who knew that staples like rice, sugar, & salt would be perfectly edible for hundreds of years after being produced? In this piece, we'll look at a few foods that may be naturally produced or that, with proper processing, can maintain their nutritional value for an extended period. Nevertheless, this is only the case if the food item is unprocessed. It's not healthy to disregard the expiration date on packaged foods you buy from retailers. Preservatives in the goods might spoil after the expiration date, therefore it's important to read labels carefully.

Soy sauce

Three years is the minimum shelf life for opened soy sauce. The shelf life of soy sauce in an airtight bottle varies greatly depending on variables such as the kind of fish sauce, the production technique, the quality, and also the temperatures at which the soy sauce was stored. The natural fermentation process used to make soy sauce can take anything from several months to two years. These soy sauces are the only ones that can last for more than three years without spoiling. Brands with short expiration dates often used chemicals to speed up the fermentation process and hence should be avoided.

Maple Syrup

In its pristine, unopened container, maple syrup has an indefinite shelf life, according to the Massachusetts Maple Growers Association. If kept in a cold, dark area like a refrigerator, it can be used for years after opening.

Kidneys Beans

The appearance of dried kidney beans changed after 30 years of storage, but they were still viable and edible, as confirmed by the research. When dried beans, like kidney beans, are stored correctly, the researchers estimate a 30-year shelf life. Whoa, that certainly is a very long time!

Salt

Salt, being a mineral found in nature rather than a man-made commodity, never spoils. The substance may quickly absorb water and become solid rock. Yet, salt continues to be salt. Furthermore, remember that iodized salt may be stored for up to five years. After this period, the iodide will have evaporated and indeed the salt it'll no longer be as effective, but it can still be used as ordinary table salt.
