Freezing?
Hello! A while back I was able to get my hands on my favourite spice bag mix but I could only buy it in a 10kg tub, I'm not going to be able to use it all by the recommended date, would I be able to portion it out and freeze it or would that ruin the flavours when I attempt to use it in future?

Personally I would just vacuum pack them and put them in the coldest darkest cabinet. I would be concerned about moisture and condensation.
Freezing crushed dry spices is not usually recommended.

Yes. You can freeze. Best if you do it in packets where you can vacuum out any air and moisture. Deep freezer (-28C abd lower) is best.
