Here is the response from FoodieNY. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Preblended spice mixes often harden due to excess moisture, this occurs when one of the ingredients is salt, you can still use it. I am more particular about herbs and spices. If they are no longer the bright color they should be, or smell fragrant when you take the top off, toss them. If you can’t “see” or smell the freshness, you won’t be able to taste it. This question was brought before on Yahoo. Here is the response from FoodieNY.
