While most foods have an expiration date, there are some everyday staples that never expire. While there are obvious ingredients like sugar and salt that can last indefinitely, white rice also lasts for decades.

Maple syrup and honey are two sweeteners that last exponentially longer than other foods because they have natural preservatives and low water content.
