No. Maybe 6 to 8 months old, and still bright dark green; they hadn't
faded yet. I also found worms in a bag of walnuts. I might not have
noticed them in the walnuts if I wasn't looking for them.

I've moved my other bagged dried peppers to the freezer. I should have
transfered these to glass jars when i bought them and stored all but one
in the freezer.
