They are not fresh to me and in most cases have lost the flavor I need when cooking or baking. It’s a personal preference.
I may have told you, that I taught cooking and baking classes in a fancy kitchen store. I learned a lot when I worked there.

That way they’ll maintain their flavor much longer.
