When you take a jar or bag of spices out of the freezer, condensation can form on the surface, leading to the introduction of unwanted moisture. This is why ground spices have a shorter shelf life compared to whole spices or seeds. Therefore, it’s best to avoid freezing spices and herbs altogether.

However, as mentioned above, about storing food in the freezer, storing these spices in the refrigerator can do more harm than good.
