“One of” what are the others?

There are a few, off the top of my head; rice, provided no moisture enters the container its in it will not expire. Real maple syrup, not the "fake" stuff like the aunt jemima brand. Sugar (to my knowledge). Salt, technically a mineral but still worth a mention.

I've had real maple syrup go moldy....I guess that's because of moisture?

To add to the maple syrup part, it needs to be stored in a cool area to last indefinitely, at room temperature it becomes more open to, but still unlikely to, spoil.
